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 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 adjustments to Brightness, 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 ermore,
ther e is no f eedback to assist in co rrect ly settin g the co nt rols of the m onitor. 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 monit or adjustment and color tuning using the

Display Data Channel Command Interface (DDC/CI) protocol. All adjust ments 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 accurate tuning of the display with the ability to easily save
and use mo nito r co nf ig u rations that are best suit ed for you.

OSD M ode

The OSD mode allows easy adjustment of monitor settings without taking pre-defined
steps. You can access t he desired menu item to s et wit h ease.

The Highlight Z one function remembers the variables of the selected areas in Automatic and Manual Detect modes, res pectively.

1. If the window selected as a Highlight Zone is moved or its s iz e changed, the Highlight Zone c hanges ac cordingly.

2. If an un-selected window overlaps the window s elected as a Highlight Zone, the Highlight Zone of the s elected window tur ns off.
However, it does not turn off the Zone com pletely and only m akes the window shift to standby mode while the s ettings are s aved. When the window is re-

activated, the Highlight Zone turns on again with the s ettings unchanged.

3. If another un-ov erlapped window beside one with a Highlight Zone is selec ted as a Highlight Z one, Highlight Zone function is activated for the two
separate windows sim ultaneously. (Up to two windows can be selected as a Highlight Zone and if another window is selected as a Highlight Zone, the

Highlight Z one 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.

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 dots 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
Rat e. Unit: Hz

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

Horizontal Freq uency

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 Horizontal
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 Non­Interlace 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 means the screen is composed of 1024 horizontal

dots (horizontal resolution) and 768 vertical lines (vertical resolution).

Highlight Zo ne III

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 propriet ary
technology of SEC.
This offers an easy-to-use interface that highlights the video-playing portion of your multimedia
program by automatically detecting and highlight the desired area by dragging.

Mag icBright™

MagicBright™ is a new feature providing the optimum viewing environment depending on the
contents of the image you are watching. Currently four different modes are available. Each
mode has its own pre-configured brightness value. You can easily select one of four settings by
simply pressing the MagicBright™ control button.

AB2 Written Eco -document acompanying the products

Congratulations! You have just purchased a TCO'95 approv ed and labelled product! Your choice has
provided you with a product developed for professional use. Your purchase has also contributed to
reducing the burden on the environment and to the further development of environmentally-adapted
electronic products.

Why do we have environmentally-labelled monitors?

In many countries , environmental labelling has become an established method for encouraging the
adaptation of goods and services to the environment.The main problem as far as monitors and other
electronic equipment are concerned is that environmentally harmful substances are used both in the
products and during their manufacture. Since it has not been possible s o far for the majority of electronic
equipment to be recycled in a satisfactory way, most of these potentially damaging substances sooner or

later enter Nature.

There are also other characteristics of a monitor, such as energy consumption levels, that are important
from both the working and natural environment viewpoints. Since all types of conventional electricity
generation have a negative effect on the environment (acidic and climate-influencing emissions,

radio ac tive w ast e, et c.) it is vi ta l to conse rve en er g y. Elec tr on ic e qu ipment in off ices con su m es an
enormous amount of energy, since it is often routinely left running continuously.

What does labelling involve?

This product meets the requirements for the TCO'95 scheme, which provides for international
environmental labelling of monitors. The labelling scheme was developed as a joint effort by the TCO (The
Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees), Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for

Nature Conservation) and NUTEK (The National Board for Industrial and Technical Development in
Sweden).

The requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomics, usability, emis sion of electrical
and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical and fire safety.

The environmental demands concern among other things restrictions on the presence and use of heavy
metals, brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs (freons), and chlorinated solvents. The product
must be prepared for recycling and the manufacturer is obliged to have an environmental plan, which must

be adhered to in each country where the company conducts its operations policy. The energy requirements
include a demand that the monitor after a certain period of inactivity shall reduce its power consumption to
a lower level, in one or more stages. The length of time to reactivate the monitor shall be reasonable for
the user.

Labelled products must meet strict environmental demands, for example in respect of the reduction of
electric and magnetic fields, along with physical and visual ergonomics and good usability.

Environmental Requirements

Brominated flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and housings. In
turn , t hey delay the spread of fire. Up to thirty percent of th e plastic in a comp uter casing can co nsist of
flame retardant substances. These are related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs, which are
suspected to give rise to similar harm, including reproductive damage in fish eating birds and mammals,

due to the bioaccumulative processes. Flame retardants have been found in human blood and researchers
fear that disturbances in foetus development may occur.

z

TCO'95 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams must not contain

organically bound chlorine and bromine.

concerned with the display unit.

CFCs (freons)

CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards and in the manufacturing of
expanded foam for packaging. CFCs break down ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the
stratosphere, causing increased reception on Earth of ultraviolet light wit h consequent in crease d risks of

skin cancer (malignant melanoma).

z

The relevant TCO'95 requirement: Neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the manufacturing of

the product or its packaging.

Con gratulations!

You have just purchased a TCO'99 approved and labelled product! Your choice has provided you with a
product developed for professional use. Your purchase has also contributed to reducing the burden on the
environment and also to the further development of environmentally adapted electronics products.

This product meets the requirements for the TCO'99 scheme which provides for an international
environmental and quality labelling labelling of personal computers. The labelling scheme was developed
as a joint effort by the TCO(The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees ), Svenska
Naturskyddsforenin gen(The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation), Statens Energimyn digh et(The

Swedish National Energy Administration) and SEMKO AB.

The requirements cover a wide range of issuse: environment, ergonomics, usability, reduction of electric
and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical safety.

Why do we have environmentally labelled computers?

In many countries , environmental labelling has become an established method for encouraging the
adapta ti on o f g o od s and se rvices to th e en vir on ment. The main p rob lem, as far as computers and other

electronics equipment are concerned, is that environmentally harmful substances are used both in the
products and during their manufacture. Since it is not so far possible t o satisf actorily recycle the ma jority of
electronics equipment, most of these potentially damaging substances sooner or later enter nature.

There are also other characteristics of a computer, such as energy consumption levels, that are important
from the viewpoints of both the work (internal) and natural (external) environments. Since all methods of
electricity generation have a negative effect on the environment (e.g. acidic and climate -influencing
emissions, radioactive waste), it is vital to save energy. Electronics equipment in offices is often left running
continuously and thereby consumes a lot of energy.

What does labelling involve?

The environmental demands has been developed by Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish
Society for Nature Conservation). These demands impose restrictions on the presence and use of heavy
metals, brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs(freons)and chlorinated solvents, among other
things. The product must be prepared for recycling and the manufacturer is obliged to have an
environmental policy which must be adhered to in each country where the company implements its

operation al po lic y.

The energy requirements include a demand that the computer and/or display, after a certain period of
inactivity, shall reduce its power consumption to a lower level in one or more stages. The length of time to

reactivate the computer shall be reasonable for the user.

Flam e ret a rd a nts

Flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and housings. Their purpose
is to prevent, or at least to delay the s pre ad of fire . Up to 30% of th e plastic in a compu ter ca sing can

retardants are chemically related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs. Both the flame
retardants containing bromine or chloride and the PCBs are suspected of giving rise to severe health
effects, including reproductive damage in fish-eating birds and mammals, due to the bio-accumulative*
processes. Flame retardants have been found in human blood and researchers fear that disturbances in
foetus development may occur.

The relevant TCO'99 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams must not
contain flame retardants with organically bound bromine or chlorine. Flame retardants are allowed in the
printed circuit boards since no substitutes are available.

Cadmi um**

Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colour -generating layers of certain computer
displays. Cadmium damages the nerv ous system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO '99
requirement states that batteries, the colour -generating layers of display screens and the electrical or

electronics components must not contain any cadmium.

Me rc ur y**

Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switc hes. It damag es the nervous system and is toxic
in high doses. The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that batteries may not contain any mercury. It also

demands that mercury is not present in any of the electrical or electronics components associated with the
labelled unit. There is however one exception. Mercury is, for the time being, permitted in the back light
system o f flat panel monitors as today there is no commercially availab le alternative. TCO aims on
removing this exception when a Mercury free alternative is available.

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
screen of the program installation 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 CD-ROM Drive, click the [Start] button of Windows and then
select [Execute].
Enter D:\color\eng\setup.exe and then press the [Enter] key.
(If the drive where the CD is inserted is not D:\, enter the applicable drive.)
