This product delivers the best picture quality when viewed under the optimal resolution setting. The optimal resolution is
dependent on the screen size.

Therefore, the visual quality will be degraded if the optimal resolution is not set for the panel size. It is recommended setting
the resolution to the optimal resolution of the product.

If the signal from the PC is one of the following standard signal modes, the screen is set automatically. However, if the signal from
the PC is not one of the following signal modes, a blank screen may be displayed or only the Power LED may be turned on.
Therefore, configure it as follows referring to the User Manual of the graphics card.

Troubleshooting 5-1

5-2 Before Requesting Service

Please check the following before requesting After-Sales service. If the problem continues, please contact your nearest
Samsung Electronics Service Center.

A BLANK SCREEN APPEARS / I CANNOT TURN THE PRODUCT ON

Is the power cord connected properly? Check the connection status of the power cord.

Is the <Check Signal Cable> message displayed on the
screen?

(Connected using the D-sub cable)

If the message appears on the screen even if the cable is
properly connected, recheck the input signal by pressing the [

] button of the product.

Is the <Not Optimum Mode> message displayed on the
screen?

This occurs when the signal from the graphics card exceeds
the maximum resolution or the maximum frequency of the
product.

In this case, set up the appropriate resolution and the fre­quency for the product.

Is a blank screen displayed and does the power LED blink at
a 1 second interval?

1. This occurs when the power saving function is running.
If you click the mouse or press any key, the screen will be

turned on.

The cause of the problem is the PC or graphics card, and can
be fixed by adjusting the screen size in the HDMI or DVI
option of the graphics card settings menu.

If the graphics card settings menu has no option to adjust the
screen size, update the graphics card driver to the latest ver­sion.

6-8 Power Saving Function

This monitor has a built-in power management system called PowerSaver. This system saves energy by switching your monitor
to low-power mode when it has not been used for a certain amount of time. The monitor automatically returns to normal operation
when you press a key on the keyboard. For energy conservation, turn your monitor OFF when it is not needed, or when leaving it
unattended for long periods. The PowerSaver system operates with a VESA DPM compliant video card installed in your
computer. Use the software utility installed on your computer to set up this feature.
