An LCD monitor has one optimal resolution for the best visual quality depending on the screen size due to the inherent
characteristics of the panel, unlike a CDT monitor.

and the reciprocal of the horizontal cycle is called the horizontal frequency. The horizontal frequency is represented in kHz.
Vertical Frequency
A panel must display the same picture on the screen tens of times every second so that humans can see the picture. This
frequency is called the vertical frequency. The vertical frequency is represented in Hz.

Troubleshooting 5-3
FAQ PLEASE TRY THE FOLLOWING!
What is the difference between HDTV and
SDTV?
Can I watch HD broadcasting with all digital
TVs?
Can I watch digital TV broadcasting with an
Analogue TV?
There are various types of digital TVs.
The most widely known types of digital TV are HDTV and SDTV. They are
classified according to the screen quality and the video specifications.
• HDTV (High Definition TV):High screen quality.
• SDTV (Standard Definition TV):Common standard digital TV.
An SDTV has an aspect ratio of 4:3 which is the same as that of an Analogue TV. HDTV has an aspect ratio of 16:9 which is similar to a cinema
screen. This provides a much better screen quality than SDTV.
Digital TV broadcasting in our country is ultimately orientated towards
HDTV. (At present, all digital TVs from Samsung Electronics have the 16:9
wide aspect ratio.)
You can receive all digital broadcasts, whether they are SD or HD, using
any digital TV. However, you cannot enjoy HD programmes, which are the
highest quality digital TV programmes, using an SD digital TV.
(At present, all digital TVs from Samsung Electronics have the 16:9 wide
aspect ratio.)
No.
The Analogue TV cannot interpret digital signals. Therefore, a digital TV is
required to watch digital TV broadcasting.
Can I use my present antenna to receive digital
broadcasting?
As for existing Analogue TV, digital TV is designed so that digital broadcasting signals are received via both indoor and outdoor antennas.
If signal reception is very good in your environment, you can watch digital
broadcasts with your existing indoor antenna. If not, it is better to install an
outdoor antenna.
