Check List

Q & A

Self-Test Feature Check

Check the following items yourself before calling for service. Contact the service center for problems that you cannot solve by yourself.

Self-Test Feature Check | Not Supported Mode | Not Optimum Mode | Display Adapter Driver

Maintenance and Cleaning | Symptoms & Recommended Actions

1. Self-Test Feature Check

Your monitor provides a self test feature that allows you to check whether your monitor is functioning properly.

1. Turn off both your computer and the monitor.
2. Unplug the video cable from the back of the computer.
3. Turn on the monitor.

The figure shown below ("Check Signal Cable") appears on a black background when the monitor is in its normal working condition though it does not sense any video signal: While in the Self-Test mode, the LED power indicator remains green and the figure moves around on the screen.

Check Signal Cable PC

1. Turn off your monitor and reconnect the video cable; then turn on both your computer and the monitor.

If your monitor screen remains blank after using the previous procedure, check your video controller and computer system; your monitor is functioning properly.

2. Not Supported Mode

This indicates the display resolution or refresh rate is not properly set on your computer video card. Reboot the computer in Safe Mode and select "Default" in the "Refresh Rate Unknown" box while setting Adapter for Display Properties.

Not Supported Mode PC 56.2kHz 90Hz

Contact the computer dealer or manufacturer for information on Safe Mode Booting.

Refer to Specifications > Preset Timing Modes for the resolutions or frequencies that are supported by the monitor.

Sometimes the screen turns black without the "Not Supported Mode" message appearing on the screen. This indicates the monitor is set for a frequency out of range or the PowerSaver mode is on.

3. Not Optimum Mode

If the vertical resolution is not in optimum mode, you can still see the display but the warning message below appears and disappears after one minute.

The user must adjust the frequency within that one minute.

- The user will be required to pay costs and related expenses for repair of damages caused by him/her.

6. Symptoms and Recommended Actions

A monitor recreates visual signals received from the computer. Therefore, if there is trouble with the computer or the video card, this can cause the monitor to become blank, have poor coloring, noise, Video mode not supported, etc. In this case, first check the source of the problem, and then contact a service center or your dealer.

1. Check if the power cord and the video cables are properly connected to the computer.
2. Check if the computer beeps more than 3 times when booting.
   (If it does, request an after-service for the main board of the computer.)
3. If you installed a new video card or if you assembled the PC, check if you installed the adapter(video) driver and the monitor driver.
4. Check if the scanning ratio of the video screen is set at 56Hz or 85Hz. (Do not exceed 60Hz when using the maximum resolution.)

Sync (Synchronized) Signals refer to the standard signals that are required to display desired colors on the monitor. They are divided into Vertical and Horizontal Sync Signals. These signals display normal color images by the set resolution and frequency.

Types of Sync Signals

Separate	This is a scheme of transmitting individual vertical and horizontal sync signals to the monitor.
Composite	This is a scheme of combining vertical and horizontal sync signals into one composite signal and transmitting it to the monitor. The monitor displays the color signals by separating the composite signal into original color signals.

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 Rate. Unit: hz

Example: 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 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 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 1280 x 1024, this means the screen is composed of 1280 horizontal dots (horizontal resolution) and 1024 vertical lines (vertical resolution).

RF Cable

A round signal cable generally used for TV antennas.

Satellite Broadcasting

Broadcasting service provided via satellite. Enables high picture quality and clear sound throughout the country regardless of the location of the viewer.

Sound Balance

Balances the levels of the sound coming from each speaker in televisions with two speakers.

Cable TV

Whereas the terrestrial broadcasting is delivered via frequency signals through the air, cable broadcasting is transmitted via a cable network. In order to view cable TV, one must purchase a cable receiver and hook it up to the cable network.

CATV

"CATV" refers to the broadcasting service offered at hotels, schools and other buildings through their own broadcasting system, apart from VHF or UHF broadcasting by terrestrial broadcasters. The CATV programs may include movies, entertainment and educational programs. (Different from cable TV.)

CATV can be viewed only within the area in which the CATV service is offered.

S-Video

Short for "Super Video." S-Video allows up to 800 lines of horizontal resolution, enabling high-quality video.

VHF/UHF

VHF indicates TV channels 2 to 13, and UHF indicates channels 14 through 69.

Channel Fine Tuning

This feature allows the viewer to fine-tune the TV channel to obtain the best viewing conditions. The Samsung LCD TV has both automatic and manual channel fine-tuning features to enable the viewer to adjust their desired settings.

External Device Input

External device input refers to video input from such external video devices as VCRs, camcorders and DVD players, separate from a TV broadcast.

DVD

A type of digital disk technology that takes up only the benefits of CD and LD, to implement a high resolution/quality, which enables the user to enjoy clearer images.

DTV Broadcasting (Digital TV Broadcasting)

An enhanced broadcasting technology to process digital video signals using a set-top box, which implements a high resolution and clearer digital images on the screen.

This derives from artificial satellite technology that amplifies weak signals even in poor reception areas for sharper images.

Antenna Converter

A connection part that is used to link a wide antenna cable (feeder cable) to the TV.

- English Caption (= Caption Setting)

A kind of language selection feature that provides English subtitles (caption) or character information services from broadcasting services (ex: AFKN) or video tapes (marked CC), and which are especially useful for studying English.

Multiplex Broadcasting

This enables the user to enjoy the broadcasting service in both Korean and foreign (original) language as well as in stereo mode.

A2

This system uses two carriers to transmit voice data. Countries such as South Korea and Germany use this system.

BTSC

LCD Monitors and TVs may have image retention when switching from one image to another especially after displaying a stationary image for a long time.

This guide is to demonstrate correct usage of LCD products in order to protect them from Image retention.

What is Image retention?

During normal operation of a LCD panel, pixel image retention doesn't occur. However, if the same image is displayed for a long time, a slight difference in electric charge accumulates between the two electrodes which encase the liquid crystal. This may cause the liquid crystal to build up in a certain areas of the display. Thus, the previous image is retained when switching to a new video image. All display products, including LCD, are subject to image retention. This is not a product defect.

Please follow the suggestions below to protect your LCD from image retention

Power Off, Screen Saver, or Power Save Mode Ex)

• Turn the power off when using a stationary pattern.
• Turn the power off for 4 hours after 24 hours in use
• Turn the power off for 2 hours after 12 hours in use
  • Use a Screen saver if possible
  Screen saver in one color or a moving image is recommended.
• Set the Monitor to power off with the PC Display Properties Power Scheme.

- Suggestions for specific applications

Ex) Airports, Transit Stations, Stock Markets, Banks, and Controlling Systems We recommend that you follow set up of your display system program as below:

- Display Information together with Logo or Moving image cycle.

Ex) Cycle : Display Information for 1 hour followed by a

Display Logo or moving image for 1 minute.

Change the Color Information periodically (Use 2 different colors).

Ex) Rotate the Color Information with 2 colors every 30 minutes.

Type 1 FLIGHT TIME OZ348 20:30 UA102 21:10 Type 1 FLIGHT TIME OZ348 20:30 UA102 21:10

Avoid using a combination of characters and background color with large difference in luminance.

Avoid using Grey colors, which can cause Image retention easily.

- Avoid: Colors with big difference in luminance (Black & White, Grey) Ex)

SYSTEM : 245 STATUS : NG SYSTEM : 245 STATUS : NG

- Recommended settings: Bright colors with little difference in luminance - Change the characters color and background color every 30 minutes Ex)

- Every 30 minutes, change the characters with movement. Ex)

1 KA1710 12:00 UA0110 13:30 2 AA0002 14:00 KA1710 12:00 FA7777 14:15 UA0110 13:30 3 AA0002 14:00 FA7777 14:15

The best way to protect your monitor from Image retention is to set your PC or System to operate a Screen Saver program when you are not using it.

Image retention may not occur when a LCD panel is operated under normal conditions.

Normal conditions are defined as continuously changing video patterns. When the LCD panel is operated for a long time with a fixed pattern (-over 12 hours-), there may be slight difference in voltage between electrodes that work the liquid crystal (LC) in a pixel. The voltage difference between electrodes increases with time, forcing the liquid crystal to lean. When this occurs, the previous image may be seen when the pattern is changed.

To prevent this, the accumulated voltage difference must be decreased.
