3.3.14 Troubleshooting Guide
Issue
The display you want to control
does not appear on the system
information chart.

Solution
1.

Check the connection of the RS232C cable (check that the
cable is properly connected to appropriate serial port).

Check that another display with a duplicate ID is not
connected. Connecting displays with a duplicate ID can
cause the displays not to be shown due to data collision.

Check that the display ID is within the range of 0 and 99.
(Change the ID using the Display menu.)
For a display that supports the ID in a range of 0 to 99,
the ID should be set between 0 and 99.

The display you want to control
does not appear on the other
Control Info Grids.

Check that the display is powered on. (See the power status in
the system information chart.)

The following message appears
repeatedly.

Check that the display you want to control is selected.

Displays power on or off at different
time from one another even though
On Time or Off Time is set.

Adjust the time on the PC to synchronize the time between the
connected displays.

The remote control does not work.

The remote control may not work if the RS-232C cable is
removed or the program is closed abnormally while the Remote
Control function is Disable. To resolve this, run the program
again and set Remote Control to Enable.

Ensure you select the input source the display is connected to.

This program may malfunction sometimes due to a communication problem between the PC and
display or electromagnetic waves emitted from nearby electronic devices.

7.1.3 Connecting to a Wireless Network
To connect your product to your wireless network, you need a wireless router or modem and a Samsung
Wireless LAN adapter (WIS10ABGN, WIS12ABGNX), which you connect to your product back or side
panel USB port. See the illustration below.

Wireless IP sharer
(router having DHCP server)
Product Panel

The LAN Port on the Wall

Samsung Wireles LAN Adapter
LAN Cable

Samsung’s Wireless LAN adapter is sold separately and is offered by selected retailers, Ecommerce
sites, and Samsungparts.com. Samsung’s Wireless LAN adapter supports the IEEE 802.11a/b/g and n
communication protocols. Samsung recommends using IEEE 802.11n. When you play video over a
network connection, the video may not play smoothly.
z

You must use the “Samsung Wireless LAN adapter” (WIS10ABGN, WIS12ABGNX) to use a
wireless network.

The Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter and the USB extension Cable are sold separately and are
offered by select retailers, Ecommerce sites, and Samsungparts.com.

To use a wireless network, your product must be connected to a wireless IP sharer (either a router
or a modem). If the wireless IP sharer supports DHCP, your product can use a DHCP or static IP
address to connect to the wireless network.

Select a channel for the wireless IP sharer that is not currently being used. If the channel set for the
wireless IP sharer is currently being used by another device nearby, this will result in interference
and communication failure.

Your product supports only the following wireless network security protocols:

Authentication Mode : WEP, WPAPSK, WPA2PSK

Encryption Type : WEP, TKIP, AES.

If you select the Pure High-throughput (Greenfield) 802.11n mode and the Encryption type is set to
WEP, TKIP or TKIP AES (WPS2Mixed) on your AP or wireless router, Samsung product will not
support a connection in compliance with new Wi-Fi certification specifications.

If your wireless router supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), you can connect to the network via
PBC (Push Button Configuration) or PIN (Personal Identification Number). WPS will automatically
configure the SSID and WPA key in either mode.

If your router, modem, or device is not certified, it may not connect to the product via the
“Samsung Wireless LAN adapter.”

7 Network

136

Network

Ensure the product is turned on before you connect the Samsung Wireless LAN adapter.

Connection Methods: You can setup the wireless network connection in five ways:

Auto Setup (Using the Auto Network Search function)

Manual Setup

Ad Hoc

WPS (PBC)

One Foot Connection

The product may not recognize the Samsung Wireless LAN adapter if you connect it to the
product with a USB hub or USB extension cable other than the cable supplied with the product.

7.1.4 Wireless Network Setting
Automatic Network Setup
Most wireless networks have an optional security system that requires devices that access the network
to transmit an encrypted security code called an Access or Security Key. The Security Key is based on
a Pass Phrase, typically a word or a series of letters and numbers of a specified length you were asked to
enter when you set up security for your wireless network. If you use this method of setting up the network
connection, and have a Security Key for your wireless network, you will have to enter the Pass Phrase
during the the automatic or manual setup process.

Horizontal Frequency
The time required to scan a single line from the left to the right side of the screen is called a
horizontal cycle. The reciprocal number of a horizontal cycle is called horizontal frequency.
Horizontal frequency is measured in kHz.
Vertical Frequency
The product displays a single image multiple times per second (like a fluorescent light) to display
what the viewer sees. The rate of a single image being displayed repeatedly per second is called
vertical frequency or refresh rate. Vertical frequency is measured in Hz.

Optimum Picture Quality and Afterimage Burn-in Prevention
Optimum Picture Quality
z

To enjoy the optimum picture quality, go to Control Panel on your PC and adjust the resolution and
refresh rate as follows. The picture quality of TFT-LCDs may degrade if the optimum resolution is not
selected.

Resolution: 1920 X 1080

Vertical frequency (refresh rate): 56 ~ 75 Hz

Due to the nature of the manufacturing of this product, approximately 1 pixel per million (1ppm) may
be brighter or darker on the panel. This does not affect product performance.

The number of sub-pixels by panel type: 32, 40, 46, 55 : 6,220,800

Run "Auto Adjustment" to improve the picture quality. If noise is still found even after auto
adjustment, adjust Coarse or Fine.

Leaving the screen fixed on a stationary image for an extended period of time may cause afterimage
burn-in or defective pixels.

Activate power-saving mode or a dynamic screen saver if you will not be using the product for
an extended period of time.

Unlike CDT monitors, TFT-LCD monitors (due to the nature of the panel) can be set to only one
resolution to obtain the optimum picture quality. Therefore, setting a resolution other than the
specified resolution may degrade the picture quality. To avoid this, it is recommended that you select
the optimum resolution specified for your monitor.

Appendix

206

Appendix

Prevention of Afterimage Burn-in
What is afterimage burn-in?
Afterimage burn-in should not occur when the LCD panel is operating normally. Normal operation refers
to a continuously changing video pattern. If the LCD panel displays a fixed pattern for an extended period
of time (more than 12 hours), a slight voltage difference may occur between the electrodes in pixels that
control the liquid crystals.
Such a voltage difference between electrodes increases with time and makes the liquid crystals thinner.
When this occurs, a previous image can remain on the screen when the pattern changes. To prevent this,
the accumulated voltage difference should be reduced.

Terminology
OSD(On Screen Display)
On screen display (OSD) allows you to configure on-screen settings to optimize the picture quality as
required. It allows you to change the screen brightness, tint, size and many other settings using
menus displayed on the screen.

Gamma
The Gamma menu adjusts the grey scale that represents middle tones on the screen. Adjusting the
brightness brightens the whole screen, but adjusting Gamma only brightens the medium brightness.

Gray Scale
Scale refers to levels of color intensity that show variations of color change from darker areas to
brighter areas on the screen. Changes to the screen brightness are expressed with black and white
variation, and grey scale refers to the medium area between black and white. Changing the grey scale
through Gamma adjustment will change the medium brightness on the screen.

Scanning rate
Scanning rate, or refresh rate, refers to the frequency of screen refreshes. Screen data is transmitted
as it refreshes to display an image, although the refreshing is invisible to the naked eye. The number of
screen refreshes is called scanning rate and is measured in Hz. A scanning rate of 60Hz means that
the screen refreshes 60 times per second. The screen scanning rate depends on the performance of
the graphics cards in your PC and product.

Horizontal Frequency
Characters or images displayed on the product screen consist of numerous dots (pixels). Pixels are
transmitted in horizontal lines, which are then arranged vertically to create an image. The horizontal
frequency is measured in kHz and represents how many times horizontal lines per second are
transmitted and displayed on the product screen. A horizontal frequency of 85 means that the
horizontal lines that make up an image are transmitted 85 000 times per second, and the horizontal
frequency is indicated in 85kHz.

Vertical Frequency
One image is made of numerous horizontal lines. The vertical frequency is measured in Hz and
represents how many images can be created per second by those horizontal lines. A vertical
frequency of 60 means that an image is transmitted 60 times per second. The vertical frequency is
also called "refresh rate" and affects screen flicker.

Appendix

210

Appendix

Resolution
Resolution is the number of horizontal pixels and vertical pixels that form a screen. It represents the
level of display detail.
A higher resolution displays a greater amount of information on the screen and is suitable for
performing multiple tasks at the same time.
E.g. A resolution of 1920 x 1080 consists of 1,920 horizontal pixels (horizontal frequency) and 1,080
vertical lines (vertical resolution).

Plug & Play
The Plug & Play feature allows the automatic exchange of information between a product and PC to
produce an optimum display environment.
The product uses VESA DDC (international standard) to execute Plug & Play.
