Frequently Asked Questions - 04/03/2026
Response Notice-Facile

DDC/CI (Display Data Channel/Command Interface) is a protocol that allows bidirectional communication between your computer and your Samsung SyncMaster S24A850DW monitor.

What is DDC/CI used for?

  • It allows the computer to retrieve information about the monitor's characteristics, such as resolution, refresh rate, and color settings.
  • It provides the ability to control certain monitor settings directly from the computer, without having to use the physical buttons on the monitor.

Controllable functions via DDC/CI

  • Brightness adjustment
  • Contrast
  • Color
  • Other compatible display settings

How to use the DDC/CI function on your SyncMaster S24A850DW?

  1. Ensure that the video cable (DisplayPort, DVI, or HDMI depending on your setup) supports DDC/CI communication.
  2. In the monitor's OSD (On-Screen Display) menu, check that the DDC/CI option is enabled. This option is usually accessible in the system or management settings.
  3. Use compatible software on your computer, such as Samsung MagicTune or other third-party utilities, to adjust the monitor settings via DDC/CI.

With DDC/CI, you can easily manage your monitor settings directly from your PC, which is particularly useful if you are using multiple screens or want to automate certain adjustments.

  • The amount of energy saved by the Eco Motion Sensor, Eco Light Sensor, and Eco Saving functions will accumulate and the progress can be viewed as a growing energy tree.

SAMSUNG SYNCMASTER S24A850DW - Notes - 16

The energy tree grows as the energy savings of the monitor accumulate. Accordingly, the tree's growth will also be affected by other functions that involve power consumption such as the brightness control function.

  • The amount of energy savings accumulated by using the power-saving functions, such as Eco Motion Sensor, Eco Light Sensor and Eco Saving, will be calculated and represented as an amount of carbon dioxide.
  • A complete energy tree will be displayed when the amount of energy savings accumulates to as much as the amount of carbon dioxide a tree absorbs in a year. This shows that your energy saving is as effective as planting a tree so that you can easily understand the accumulation of energy savings over time and its effect by viewing the progress of a tree growing.
  • The progress of a tree growing will be represented as 10 different images (stages). After one full-grown tree is complete, the initial image will be restored and the number of trees will continue to accumulate. The number for energy trees will be rounded to one decimal place.

Terminology

OSD(On Screen Display)

On screen display (OSD) allows you to configure on-screen settings to optimize the picture quality as required. It allows you to change the screen brightness, tint, size and many other settings using menus displayed on the screen.

HUB

HUB refers to a device that is a common connection point for multiple devices connected over a network. It is used to connect multiple PCs, video devices, office devices and/or LANs over a single network.

Coarse

Coarse refers to the frequency of radio wave vibrations per second. A higher frequency transmits a larger amount of data and is reflected easier. A lower frequency traverses obstacles more easily and can travel farther, but it transmits a smaller amount of data. The Coarse menu allows you to manually adjust the frequency to obtain the optimum picture quality. Adjust Coarse referring to Standard Signal Mode Table (83page) according to the performance of your product and enjoy improved picture quality.

Gamma

The Gamma menu adjusts the grey scale that represents middle tones on the screen. Adjusting the brightness brightens the whole screen, but adjusting Gamma only brightens the medium brightness.

Grey scale

Scale refers to levels of color intensity that show variations of color change from darker areas to brighter areas on the screen. Changes to the screen brightness are expressed with black and white variation, and grey scale refers to the medium area between black and white. Changing the grey scale through Gamma adjustment will change the medium brightness on the screen.

Scanning rate

Scanning rate, or refresh rate, refers to the frequency of screen refreshes. Screen data is transmitted as it refreshes to display an image, although the refreshing is invisible to the naked eye. The number of screen refreshes is called scanning rate and is measured in Hz. A scanning rate of 60Hz means that the screen refreshes 60 times per second. The screen scanning rate depends on the performance of the graphics cards in your PC and monitor.

Horizontal Frequency

Characters or images displayed on the monitor screen consist of numerous dots (pixels). Pixels are transmitted in horizontal lines, which are then arranged vertically to create an image. The horizontal frequency is measured in kHz and represents how many times horizontal lines per second are transmitted and displayed on the monitor screen. A horizontal frequency of 85 means that the horizontal lines that make up an image are transmitted 85 000 times per second, and the horizontal frequency is indicated in 85kHz.

Vertical Frequency

One image is made of numerous horizontal lines. The vertical frequency is measured in Hz and represents how many images can be created per second by those horizontal lines. A vertical frequency of 60 means that an image is transmitted 60 times per second. The vertical frequency is also called "refresh rate" and affects screen flicker.

Resolution

Resolution is the number of horizontal pixels and vertical pixels that form a screen. It represents the level of display detail.

A higher resolution displays a greater amount of information on the screen and is suitable for performing multiple tasks at the same time.

E.g. A resolution of 1920 × 1080 consists of 1,920 horizontal pixels (horizontal frequency) and 1,080 vertical lines (vertical resolution).
E.g. A resolution of 1920 × 1200 consists of 1,920 horizontal pixels (horizontal frequency) and 1,200 vertical lines (vertical resolution).

Plug & Play

The Plug & Play feature allows the automatic exchange of information between a monitor and PC to produce an optimum display environment.

The monitor uses VESA DDC (international standard) to execute Plug & Play.
