Requirements Before Contacting Samsung
Customer Service Center
―
Before calling Samsung Customer Service Center, test your product as follows. If the problem persists,
contact Samsung Customer Service Center.
Product diagnosis (Screen issue)
If a problem occurs with the monitor screen, run
to check that the monitor is working
properly.
Checking the Resolution and Frequency
If a resolution that is not supported (see the
) is selected, the
Not Optimum
Mode
message may appear for a short time or the screen may not be displayed properly.
―
The displayed resolution may vary, depending on the PC system settings and cables.
Check the following.
Caution
When the product makes popping (cracking) sound.
The sound may be caused by contraction or expansion from temperature change of external
components or internal circuit of the product.
This is NOT a product failure and does not affect the life of the product.
Installation issue (PC mode)
Blank spaces are found on all four sides of the screen when an HDMI or HDMI-DVI cable is connected to
the product and PC.
The blank spaces found on the screen have nothing to do with the product.
Blank spaces on the screen are caused by the PC or graphics card. To resolve the problem, adjust the
screen size in the HDMI or DVI settings for the graphics card.
If the graphics card settings menu does not have an option to adjust the screen size, update the
graphics card driver to the latest version.
(Please contact the graphics card or PC manufacturer for further details about how to adjust the screen
settings.)
