Natural Color Software Program

One of the recent problems in using a computer is that the color of the images printed out by a
printer or other images scanned by a scanner or a digital camera are not the same as those
shown on the monitor.
The Natural Color S/W is the very solution for this problem. It is a color administration system
developed by Samsung Electronics in association with Korea Electronics &
Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI).
This system is available only for Samsung monitors and makes the color of the images on the

monitor the same as the printed or scanned images.

For more information, refer to Help (F1) in the software program.

How to install the Natural Color software

Insert the CD included with the Samsung monitor into the CD-ROM Drive. Then, the initial

Overview

What is MagicTune™?

Monitor performance can vary due to the graphics card, host computer lighting conditions and other
environmental factors. In order to get the best image on a monitor requires you to adjust it for your unique
setting. Unfortunately, the manual controls available to tune the image often prove to be challengin g. Proper
adjustment (tuning) requires an easy to use program that goes through a step-by-step process to obtain the
best overall picture quality.

In most cases even simple adjustments to Brightness, or Contrast require navigation of the mul t i-level, on­screen display (OSD) menus that are not easy to understand. Furthermore, there is no feedback to assist in
correctly setting the controls of the monitor. MagicTune is a software utility that guides you through the tuning
process with easy to understand instructions and back ground patterns designed for each monitor control. The
display settings for each user can be saved, providing an easy way to select display characteristics in a multi­user environme or having a single user have multiple defined presets based on content and ambient lighting.

Basic Functionality

MagicTune is a software utility that allows monitor adjustment and color tuning using the Display Data

Channel Command Interface (DDC/CI)

to eliminate the need to us e the monitor on-screen dis p lay (OSD).
MagicTune supports Windows™ 98 SE, Me, 2000, XP Home, and XP Professional.

It is recommended using MagicTune in Windo w s™ 2000 or later.

MagicTune allows for quick accurate tuning of the display with the ability to easily save and use monitor
configurations that are best suite d fo r y ou.

The Highlight Zone ensures the clear and sharp display
of animated multimedia or photo images by enhancing
the brightness of a certain area on the screen.

Highlight Zone III features a combination of the circuitry
and the program built on the proprietary technology of
SEC.

This offers an easy-to-use interface that highlights the
video-playing portion of your multimedia progr am by
automatically detecting and highlight the desired area
by dragging.

The Highlight Zone provides optimal display of mov ing
pictures. So, text may appear blurry in the Highlight
Zone.

1. When the Highlight program is running, the monitor automatically detects the video-playing portion of your multimedia program and activates the
Highlight Zone feature. No selection is necessary.

However, Automatic Detect may not work with a DVD player. (In this case, change the setting to Manual Detect mode to create a Highlight Zone.)
Select 'Off' in Auto Detect menu when you wish to deactivate the Automatic Detect feature.
Since this disables the Auto Detect capability of the monitor, the monitor does not automatically create a Highlight Zone.
(When you first install the program, Automatic Detect is set to 'On'.)

Note 1 : When OSD is selected while the Auto Detect is running, Highlight Zone turns off temporarily not to disturb adjustment of display conditions

The Highlight Zone function remembers the variables of the selected areas in Automatic and Manual Detect modes, respectively.

1. If the window selected as a Highlight Zone is moved or its size changed, the Highlight Zone changes accordingly.

2. If an un-selected window overlaps the window selected as a Highlight Zone, the Highlight Zone of the selected window turns off.
However, it does not turn off the Zone completely and only makes the window shift to standby mode while the settings are saved. When the window is re­activated, the Highlight Zone turns on again with the settings unchanged.

3. If another un-overlapped window beside one with a Highlight Zone is selected as a Highlight Zone, Highlight Zone function is activated for the two
separate windows simultaneously. (Up to two windows can be selected as a Highlight Zone and if another window is selected as a Highlight Zone , the
Highlight Zone of the previous windows turns off.)
When the Highlight Zone is created using the Drag function, the Zone functions independently of the above since it uses a random portion of the screen
instead of a particular window.

Note 1 : How to cancel the saved variables of a selected window.

1) When a window selected in Automatic Detect mode is replaced with another window also selected in Automatic Detect mode,
the last selection is saved, and the Highlight Zone function is de-activated for the previous windows.

onl

2) In Manual Detect mode, only the window (or the frame window) created last is saved, and the Highlight Zone function is de-activated for the

previous windows.
The Highlight Zone is de-selected when the program used to create the selected window is closed. The variables of the Highlight Zone created usi n g
the Drag function are not saved.

Note 2 : The changes saved under Picture Setting of the Highlight Zone menu remain effective even after the program is closed using Exit Program.

The next time you start the Highlight Zone program, the settings are shown as previously saved.

Tips for Highlight Zone

1. To protect CDT against the screen brightness, the Highlight Zone function persists for three
hours and then automatically stops. So please reset it to continue.

2. Once the Highlight Zone has been switched off, you can't select any of the other menus within
the Hightlight Zone.

3. When the Highlight Zone function is operated, the surrounding brightness of screen may become
dark.

4. Depending on the video card you use, a color saturation phenomenon may occur in the Highlight
Zone. In this case, slightly lower the contrast of the Highlight Zone and the color saturation will be
reduced.

If problems repeatedly occur, contact an authorized service center.

Dot Pitch

The image on a monitor is composed of red, green and blue dots. The closer the dots, the
higher the resolution. The distance between two do ts of the same color is called the 'Dot
Pitch'. Unit: mm

Vertical Frequency

The screen must be redrawn several times per second in order to create and display an image
for the user. The frequency of this repetition per second is called Vertical Frequency or
Refresh Rate. Unit: Hz

Example: If If the same light repeats itself 60 times per second, this is regarded as 60 Hz.

Horizontal Frequency

The time to scan one line connecting the right edge to the left edge of the screen horizontally
is called Horizontal Cycle. The inverse number of the Horizontal Cycle is called Horizon t al
Frequency. Unit: kHz

Interlace and Non-Interlace Methods

Showing the horizontal lines of the screen from the top to the bottom in order is called the
Non-Interlace method while showing odd lines and then even lines in turn is called the
Interlace method. The Non-Interlace method is used for the majority of monitors to ensure a
clear image. The Interlace method is the same as that used in TVs.

Plug & Play

This is a function that provides the best quality screen for the user by allowing the computer
and the monitor to exchange information automatically. This monitor follows the international
standard VESA DDC for the Plug & Play function.

Resolution

The number of horizontal and vertical dots used to compose the screen image is called
'resolution'. This number shows the accuracy of the display. High resolution is good for
performing multiple tasks as more image information can be shown on the screen.

Example: If the resolution is 1024 X 768 , this mean s the screen is composed of 1024

horizontal dots (horizontal resolution) and 768 vertica l li ne s (verti cal resolu ti on ).

Highlight Zone III

Highlight Zone is an enhancement feature to increase luminance in a certain area of the
monitor for brighter and sharper images/photos. Highlight Zone III is carried by Samsung's
unique circuit technology and a powerful combination of programs in order to implement the
Highlight Zone feature. This is a user friendly program that automatically highlights a certain
video area or enables users to specify an area of their choice to be highlighted.

MagicBright™

MagicBright is an advanced monitor that boasts more than twice the brightness and sharpness
compared to conventional models, and which provides a context ua l displ a y environment
depending on word processing, internet, game or video purposes. The user can use the front
button panel to control the screen at four different levels of brightn e ss and sharpness for their
preference.

MagicGreen

The MagicGreen CDT monitor has adopted a Well-Being CDT that is coated with a Vital &
Pure coating, which radiates far infrared and anion and provides antibacterial and deodorizing
effects.

z

Vital Coating

Radiates far infrared and anion by applying a specialized cera mi c on the

surface of the CDT funnel.

z

Pure Coating

Provides antibacterial deodorizing effects by treating the surface with

photocatalyst TiO2 and Nano Silver.
