Setting up Your PDP (Plug and Play)
Our adoption of the new VESAPlug and Play solution eliminates complicated and time consuming
setup. It allows you to install your monitor in a Plug and Play compatible system, without the usual
setup hassles and confusion. Your PC system can easily identify and configure itself for use with your
display. This monitor automatically tells the PC system its Extended Display Identification data (EDID)
using Display Data Channel (DDC) protocols.

How to Set up Your PC Software (Windows only)
The Windows display-settings for a typical computer are shown below. However, the actual screens
on your PC will probably be different, depending upon your particular version of Windows and your
particular video card. But even if your actual screens look different, the same, basic set-up information
will apply in almost all cases. (If not, contact your computer manufacturer or Samsung Dealer.)
On the windows screen, select in the following
sequence : Start 
➝ Settings ➝ Control Panel.
When the control panel screen appears, click on
“Display” and a display dialog-box will appear.
Select the “Settings” tab in the display dialog-
box.
The two key variables that apply to the PDP-PC 
interface are “resolution” and “colors”. 
The correct settings for these two variables are:
•Size (sometimes called “resolution”)  
:640 x 480 pixels.
•  Color: “32-bit” color 
Shown at left is a typical screen for “Display”
dialog box. 
If a vertical-frequency option exists on your 
display settings dialog box, the correct value is
“60” or “60 Hz”. Otherwise, just click “OK” 
and exit the dialog box.

Both screen position and size will vary, depending on the type of PC monitor and its resolution. 
The table below shows all of the display modes that are supported:
•The interlace mode is not supported.
•The PDP operates abnormally if a non-standard video format is selected.
•The table above conforms to IBM/VESA regulations and is based on using the Analog Input.
•The DVI Mode is supported same as above table.
Notes
•When this PDP is used as a PC display, 32-bit color is supported.
•Depending on the manufacturer, your PC display screen might appear different.
(and depending on your particular version of Windows.) 
Check your PC instruction book for information about connecting your PC to a PDP.
•If a vertical and horizontal frequency-select mode exists, select 60Hz (vertical) and 31.5kHZ
