Natural Color

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 Elec-
tronics & 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.

The Natural Color is provided online. You can download it from the website below and install;

Q: What are the benefits of digital broadcasting?

A: Digital TV broadcasting generates less noise and provides clearer visuals and sound
than analog TV broadcasting does. As services develop, you can also enjoy various
information services because various kinds of data besides video and audio can be
sent.

A: For example, while watching a sports game, you can view various data on your favorite
player or you can view all or selected screens which have been captured from different
 Troubleshooting

angles for a specific scene. In addition, you can receive information on a previous story
or drama or you can buy home shopping products such as an accessory currently on
TV.

Digital TV broadcasting allows you to easily access various information services in your
home creating a more information-oriented home.

Q: What is the difference between HDTV and SDTV?

A: There are various types of digital TVs.

A: 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, very clear TV.

• SDTV (Standard Definition TV): Common standard digital TV.

A: An SDTV has an aspect ratio of 4:3 which is the same as that of an analog TV. SDTV
has an aspect ratio of 16:9 which is similar to a cinema screen. This provides a much
better screen quality than SDTV. It's like having a theater in your home.

A: Digital TV broadcasting in our country is ultimately orientated towards HDTV.

Q: Can I watch HD broadcasting with all digital TVs?

A: You can receive all digital broadcasts, whether they are SD or HD, using any digital TV.
However, you cannot enjoy HD programs, which are the highest quality digital TV pro-
grams, using an SD digital TV. Especially, as SD broadcasting has an aspect ratio of
4:3, HD broadcasting has an aspect ratio of 16:9, similar to a cinema screen.

Therefore, to enjoy the full benefits of digital TV, it is better to purchase an HD digital
TV.

(At present, all digital TVs from Samsung Electronics have the 16:9 wide aspect ratio.)

Q: Can I watch digital TV broadcasting with an analog TV?

A: No.

A: The analog TV cannot interpret digital signals. Therefore, a digital TV is required to

watch digital TV broadcasting.

Q: Can I use my present antenna to receive digital broadcasting?

A: As for existing analog TV, digital TV is designed so that digital broadcasting signals are
received via both indoor and outdoor antennas.

A: 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 UHF antenna.

Q: How do I connect an antenna for an apartment or tenement house?

A: Consult the superintendent's office or broadcasting facility administrator for your apart-
ment or tenement house to check whether UHF reception is available.

A: Even if digital TV broadcasting is available in your area, if you cannot watch it because
the superintendent's office or common broadcasting facility does not rebroadcast the
signal, you have to install an indoor or outdoor antenna.
 Troubleshooting

A: Alternatively, your local cable broadcasting company provides a digital TV service, and
you can subscribe to it.

A: If a cable broadcasting company is sharing a common broadcasting facility for your

apartment or tenement house, it has to adjust and send digital TV signals so that they
are compatible to shared viewing which is the original purpose of the common broad-
casting facility.

PRODUCT INFORMATION (Image Retention Free)

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.

Warranty

Warranty does not cover any damage caused by image retention.

Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.

What is Image retention ?

During normal operation of a LCD panel, pixel image retention doesn't occur. How-
ever, 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 de-
fect.

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 20 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

 Information

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.

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)

• 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)
 Information

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 con-
ditions.

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.

 Information

Our LCD Monitor satisfies ISO13406-2 Pixel fault Class II

Terms

Sync Signal 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 reso-
lution 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 dis-
tance 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 fre-
quency of this repetition per second is called the Vertical
Frequency or Refresh Rate. Unit: Hz

Example: If the same light repeats itself 60 times per sec-

ond, 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 the Horizontal
Cycle. The inverse number of the Horizontal Cycle is called
Horizontal Frequency. Unit: kHz

Interlace and Non-Interlace Showing the horizontal lines of the screen from the top to
Methods the bottom sequentially 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 Inter-
lace 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 ex-
change information automatically. This monitor follows the
international standard VESA DDC for the Plug & Play func-
tion.

Resolution The number of horizontal and vertical dots used to compose

the screen image is called the 'resolution'. This number
shows the accuracy of the display. A high resolution is good
for performing multiple tasks as more image information can
be shown on the screen.
 Appendix

Example: If the resolution is 1920 x 1200, this means the

screen is composed of 1920 horizontal dots (horizontal res-
olution) and 1200 vertical lines (vertical resolution).

RF Cable A round signal cable generally used for TV antennas.

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

Cable TV Whereas the terrestrial broadcasting is delivered via fre-

quency signals through the air, cable broadcasting is trans-
mitted 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.

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 exter-
nal 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 ben-
efits of CD and LD, to implement a high resolution/quality,
which enables the user to enjoy clearer images.

DTV Broadcasting (Digital An enhanced broadcasting technology to process digital

TV Broadcasting) video signals using a set-top box, which implements a high
resolution and clearer digital images on the screen.

LNA (Low Noise Amplifier) This derives from artificial satellite technology that amplifies
weak signals even in poor reception areas for sharper im-
ages.

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

English Caption (= Caption A kind of language selection feature that provides English
Setting) 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. Coun-

tries such as South Korea and Germany use this system.

BTSC Broadcast Television System CommitteeThe stereo broad-

casting system that is used in most of the countries that have
adopted the NTSC system, including the United States,
Canada, Chile, Venezuela and Taiwan. It also refers to the
organization that has been organized to promote its devel-
opment and management.

EIAJ Electronic Industries Association of Japan.

DVI DVI is the acronym for Digital Video Interface. It is a new

type of video interface technology that provides the maxi-
mum screen quality for high quality display devices and
high-end graphics cards including flat panel LCD monitors.

HDMI(High Definition Multi- This is an interface that connects both quality video signals
media Interface) and digital audio signals with a cable without any compres-
sion.

• HD (High Definition)

In HD, 1080-line, 2x density beaming (1080i) is used. HD

provides a five times clearer screen quality than the ex-
isting analog method and has a wide 16:9 aspect ratio.

• SD (Standard Definition)

In SD, 480-line, double beaming (480i) is used. SD pro-

vides a screen quality somewhere between HD and the
existing analog method. It exhibits a two times better
screen quality than analog TV.
