Samsung Syncmaster P2370h User Manual

							Using the Product3-6
3-6 Standard Signal Mode Table
 An LCD monitor has one optimal resolution for the best visual quality depending on the screen size due to the inherent 
characteristics of the panel, unlike a CDT monitor.
Therefore, the visual quality will be degraded if the optimal resolution is not set for the panel size. It is recommended setting 
the resolution to the optimal resolution of the product.
 
If the signal from the PC is one of the following standard signal modes, the screen is set automatically. However, if the signal from 
the PC is not one of the following signal modes, a blank screen may be displayed or only the Power LED may be turned on. 
Therefore, configure it as follows referring to the User Manual of the graphics card.

Horizontal Frequency
The time taken to scan one line from the left-most position to the right-most position on the screen is called the horizontal cycle 
and the reciprocal of the horizontal cycle is called the horizontal frequency. The horizontal frequency is represented in kHz.
Vertical Frequency
A panel must display the same picture on the screen tens of times every second so that humans can see the picture. This 
frequency is called the vertical frequency. The vertical frequency is represented in Hz.

How can I clean the outer case/LCD Panel? Disconnect the power cord and then clean the monitor with a soft, dry or 
slightly damp cloth.
Do not leave any detergent or scratches on the case.
Do not let any water enter the monitor.
What is the difference between HDTV and 
SDTV?There are various types of digital TVs.
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.
• SDTV (Standard Definition TV):Common standard digital TV.
An SDTV has an aspect ratio of 4:3 which is the same as that of an analog 
TV. HDTV has an aspect ratio of 16:9 which is similar to a cinema screen. 
This provides a much better screen quality than SDTV.
Digital TV broadcasting in our country is ultimately orientated towards 
HDTV. (At present, all digital TVs from Samsung Electronics have the 16:9 
wide aspect ratio.)
Can I watch HD broadcasting with all digital 
TVs?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 programs, using an SD digital TV.
(At present, all digital TVs from Samsung Electronics have the 16:9 wide
aspect ratio.)
Can I watch digital TV broadcasting with an ana-
log TV?No.
The analog TV cannot interpret digital signals. Therefore, a digital TV is 
required to watch digital TV broadcasting.
Can I use my present antenna to receive digital 
broadcasting?As for existing analog TV, digital TV is designed so that digital broadcast-
ing signals are received via both indoor and outdoor antennas.
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 antenna.
