 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 Electronics & 
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.  
How to install the Natural Color software 
Insert the CD included with the Samsung monitor into the CD-ROM Drive. Then, the initial screen of 
the program Natural Color will be executed. Click Natural Color on the initial screen to install the 
Natural Color software.  
 
To install the program manually, insert the CD included with the Samsung monitor into the CD-ROM 
Drive, click the [Start] button of Windows and then select [Run...].  
Enter D:\color\eng\setup.exe and then press the [Enter] key.  
(If the drive where the CD is inserted is not D:\, enter the applicable drive.)  
How to delete the Natural Color software program
Select Setting/Control Panel on the Start menu and then double-click Add/Delete a program.

What is Ma
gicTune™?  
Monitor performance can vary due to the graphics card, host computer lighting conditions and other 
environmental factors. In order to get the best image on a monitor requires you to adjust it for your unique 
setting. Unfortunately, the manual controls available to tune the image often prove to be challenging. 
Proper adjustment (tuning) requires an easy to use program that goes through a step-by-step process to 
obtain the best overall picture quality. 
 
In most cases even simple adjustments to Brightness, or Contrast require navigation of the multi-level, on-
screen display (OSD) menus that are not easy to understand. Furthermore, there is no feedback to assist 
in correctly setting the controls of the monitor. MagicTune™ is a software utility that guides you through 
the tuning process with easy to understand instructions and back ground patterns designed for each 
monitor control. The display settings for each user can be saved, providing an easy way to select display 
characteristics in a multi-user environme or having a single user have multiple defined presets based on 
content and ambient lighting. 
 
 
 
 
Basic Functionalit
y 
MagicTune™ is a software utility that allows monitor adjustment and color tuning using the Display Data 
Channel Command Interface (DDC/CI) protocol.  All adjustments to the display are controlled via software 
to eliminate the need to use the monitor on-screen display (OSD).  
MagicTune™ supports Windows™ 98 SE, Me, 2000, XP Home, and XP Professional.  
It is recommended using MagicTune™ in Windows™ 2000 or later. 
 
MagicTune™ allows for quick accurate tuning of the display with the ability to easily save and use monitor 
configurations that are best suited for you.
