Important Warranty Information
Regarding Monitor Format Viewing

Wide screen format PDP Displays (16:9, the aspect ratio of the screen width to height) are primarily
designed to view wide screen format full-motion video. The images displayed on them should primarily
be in the wide screen 16:9 ratio format, or expanded to fill the screen if your model offers this feature
and the images are constantly moving. Displaying stationary graphics and images on screen, such as
the dark side-bars on nonexpanded standard format television video and programming, should be
limited to no more than 5% of the total television viewing per week.

Additionally, viewing other stationary images and text such as stock market reports, video game
displays, station logos, web sites or computer graphics and patterns, should be limited as described
above for all televisions. Displaying stationary images that exceed the above guidelines

can cause uneven aging of PDP Displays that leave subtle, but permanent burned-in
ghost images in the PDP picture. To avoid this, vary the programming and images,
and primarily display full screen moving images, not stationary patterns or dark
bars.

On PDP models that offer picture sizing features, use these controls to view different formats as a full
screen picture.

Be careful in the selection and duration of monitor formats used for viewing. Uneven PDP aging as a
result of format selection and use, as well as burned-in images, are not covered by your Samsung
limited warranty.

You can change the aspect ratio to 4:3 (Normal) for watching TV or to 16:9 (Wide) for watching
movies depending on your needs.

Play Videos from your PC

The TV supports VESA Plug & Play and is automatically recognized when connected to a PC.

Power consumption is minimized by controlling the brightness depending on the surrounding
luminance.

Color-Weakness Enhancement

Red, Blue or Green can be adjusted to compensate for your particular color vision weakness.

After-Image Prevention Function

The After-Image Prevention Function prevents after-images from being formed after a still image is
displayed on the screen for a long period of time.
Additionally, a function is built-in that diminishes or removes any after-images.

User Instructions

Screen Image retention

Do not display a still image (such as on a video game or when hooking up a PC to this PDP
Monitor) on the plasma monitor panel for more than 2 hours as it can cause screen image retention.
This image retention is also known as “screen burn”. To avoid such image retention, reduce the
degree of brightness and contrast of the screen when displaying a still image.

Height

The PDP Monitor can only operate normally at heights under 6500ft.

Heat on the top of the PDP Monitor

The top side of the product may be hot after long periods of use as heat dissipates from the panel
through the vent hole in the upper part of the product.
This is normal and does not indicate any defect or operation failure of the product.
However, children should be prevented from touching the upper part of the product.

The product is making a ‘cracking’ noise.

A ‘cracking’ noise may occur when the product contracts or expands due to a change of
surrounding environment such as temperature or humidity. This is normal and not a defect of the
unit.

Cell Defects

The PDP Monitor uses a panel consisting of 1,230,000(SD-level) to 3,150,000(HD-level) pixels
which require sophisticated technology to produce. However, there may be a few bright or dark
pixels on the screen. These pixels will have no impact on the performance of the product.

Avoid operating the PDP Monitor at temperatures below 5°C (41°F)

A still image displayed too long may cause permanent damage to the PDP Monitor Panel

Watching the PDP Monitor in 4:3 format for a long period of time may leave
traces of borders displayed on the left, right and center of the screen caused
by the difference of light emission on the screen.
Playing a DVD or a game console may cause similar effect to the screen.
Damage caused by the above effect are not covered by the Warranty.

Afterimage on the Screen.

Displaying still images from Video games and PC for longer than a certain period of time may
produce partial after-images.
To prevent this effect, reduce the ‘brightness’ and ‘contrast’ when displaying still images for a
long time.

Warranty

- Warranty does not cover any damage caused by image retention.

- Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.

Be certain to remove the black cover from the optical output before inserting the cable.

If your system has both coaxial and optical digital audio inputs, SAMSUNG recommends
you use the optical digital output on the PDP Monitor.

Do not connect both optical and coaxial cables. This may damage your audio system.

• OPTICAL: converts the electric signal into an optical light signal, and transmits it through

glass fibers.

• COAXIAL: The digital audio signal is received through a coaxial copper cable.

Setting up Your PDP Monitor (Plug and Play)

Our adoption of the new VESAPlug and Play solution eliminates complicated and time consuming
setup. It allows you to install your monitor in a Plug and Play compatible system, without the usual setup
hassles and confusion. Your PC system can easily identify and configure itself for use with your PDP
Monitor. This PDP Monitor automatically tells the PC system its Extended Display Identification data
(EDID) using Display Data Channel (DDC) protocols.

How to Set up Your PC Software (Windows only)

The Windows display-settings for a typical computer are shown below. But the actual screens on your
PC will probably be different, depending upon your particular version of Windows and your particular
video card. But even if your actual screens look different, the same, basic set-up information will apply
in almost all cases. (If not, contact your computer manufacturer or Samsung Dealer.)

1.

Right click the mouse on the Windows
Desktop, then click on Properties.
The Display Dialog-Box will be displayed.

2.

You do not need to change the Colors settings.

3.

Click on Advanced. A new settings dialog box
will be displayed.

4.

Click on the Monitor tab, then set the
Screen Refresh Rate by referencing the Display
Modes Table. Set the Vertical Frequency and
Horizontal Frequency individually if you can do
so instead of setting the Screen Refresh Rate.

5.

Press the OK button, close the window, then
press the OK button on the Display Registration
Information window. Automatic re-booting may

• Auto Power Off

When you set the timer “On”, the PDP Monitor will eventually turn off, if no controls are operated for
3 hours after the PDP Monitor was turned on by the timer.
This function is only available in timer “On” mode and prevents overheating or leakage, which
may occur if a PDP Monitor is on for too long (when you are on vacation, for example).

Notes

• To remove after-images on the screen, use either the “ALL White” or “Signal Pattern” function.
Although both functions remove after-images on the screen, “Signal Pattern” is more effective.

effectively remove after-images on the screen. If the after-image is not removed after performing
the function, repeat the function again.

• Press any key on the remote control to cancel this feature.
