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
screen of the program Natural Color will be executed. Click Natural Color on the initial screen
to install the Natural Color software.
To install the program manually, insert the CD included with the Samsung monitor into the CD­ROM Drive, click the

Overview

Wha t is Mag icTune™?

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 challenging. 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 a djustments to Brightne ss, or Contrast require navigation of the
multi -leve l, o n -scree n di splay (OSD) me nu s t hat a re not e as y to u nd e rst and. Fu rth erm ore,
ther e is no f eedba ck to a ssist in co rrect ly se ttin g t he contr ols o f the mo nito r. 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.

Basic Functionality

Magic Tune is a software utility that allows mo nitor adjustment and color t uning using the

Display Data Channel Command Interface (DDC/CI) protocol. All adjustments to the

display are controlled via software to eliminate the need to use the monitor on-screen
display (OSD). MagicTune supports Windows 98SE, Me, 2000, NT, XP Home, and XP
Professional.

MagicTune allows for quick ac curate tuning of the display with the ability to easily save

an d use mo nito r co nfig u ra ti o ns that are bes t suit ed for y o u.

OSD M ode

The OSD mode allows easy adjustment of monitor settings without taking pre -defined
steps. You can a ccess t he d esired me nu item to set wit h ease.

Plug and Play Capability

This monitor can be installed on any Plug & Play compatible system. Interaction of the monitor and
computer systems will provide the best operating conditions and monitor settings. In most cases,
monitor installation will proceed automatically, unless the user wishes to select alternate settings.

Note: Design and specifications are subject to change without prior notice.

PowerSaver

This monitor has a built-in power management system called PowerSaver. This system saves energy
by switching your monitor into a 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 DPMS compliant video card installed in
your computer. Use a software utility installed on your computer to set up this feature.
