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.
