This feature will eliminate screen tearing and lag during game play. Improve your gaming experience.
Off: Disable FreeSync.
Standard Engine: Enable the basic FreeSync functions of the AMD graphics card.
Ultimate Engine: Enable the FreeSync feature with a higher screen frame rate. Screen tearing (abnormal sync between the screen and content) is reduced in this mode. Note that screen flickering may occur during game play.
When enable FreeSync function, please use maximum screen refresh rate for optimal freesync effect.
The refresh rate setting method please refer to Q & A
When using the FreeSync function, use the HDMI (+DC JACK)/DP-MINI DP cable provided by the monitor manufacturer.
If you use the FreeSync function while playing a game, the following symptoms may occur:
• The screen may flicker depending on the type of graphics card, the game option settings, or the video being played. Try the following actions: decrease the game setting values, change the current FreeSync mode to Standard Engine, or visit the AMD website to check your graphics driver’s version and update it with the latest one.
• While you are using the FreeSync function, the screen may flicker due to variation of the output frequency from the graphics card.
• The response rate during the game may fluctuate depending on the resolution. A higher resolution generally decreases the response rate.
If you encounter any issues when using the function, contact the Samsung Service Center.
How can I change the frequency?

Horizontal Frequency The time required to scan a single line from the left to the right side of the screen is called a horizontal cycle. The reciprocal number of a horizontal cycle is called horizontal frequency. Horizontal frequency is measured in kHz.
Vertical Frequency Repeating the same picture dozens of times per second allows you to view natural pictures. The repeat frequency is called "vertical frequency" or "refresh rate" and is indicated in Hz.
This product can be set to only one resolution for each screen size to obtain the optimum picture quality due to the nature of the panel. Using a resolution other than the specified resolution may degrade the picture quality. To avoid this, it is recommended that you select the optimum resolution specified for your product.
Check the frequency when you exchange a CDT monitor (connected to a PC) for an LCD monitor. If the LCD monitor does not support 85 Hz, change the vertical frequency to 60 Hz using the CDT monitor before you exchange it with the LCD monitor.
