Dot Pitch

The image on a monitor is composed of red, green and blue dots. The closer the dots, the higher the resolution. The distance between two dots of the same color is called the 'Dot Pitch'. Unit: mm

Vertical Frequency

The screen must be redrawn several times per second in order to create and display an image for the user. The frequency of this repetition per second is called Vertical Frequency or Refresh Rate. Unit: Hz

Example: If If the same light repeats itself 60 times per second, this is regarded as 60 Hz.

Horizontal Frequency

The time to scan one line connecting the right edge to the left edge of the screen horizontally is called Horizontal Cycle. The inverse number of the Horizontal Cycle is called Horizontal Frequency. Unit: kHz

Interlace and Non-Interlace Methods

Showing the horizontal lines of the screen from the top to the bottom in order is called the Non-Interlace method while showing odd lines and then even lines in turn is called the Interlace method. The Non-Interlace method is used for the majority of monitors to ensure a clear image. The Interlace method is the same as that used in TVs.

Plug & Play

This is a function that provides the best quality screen for the user by allowing the computer and the monitor to exchange information automatically. This monitor follows the international standard VESA DDC for the Plug & Play function.

Resolution

The number of horizontal and vertical dots used to compose the screen image is called 'resolution'. This number shows the accuracy of the display. High resolution is good for performing multiple tasks as more image information can be shown on the screen.

Example: If the resolution is 1024 X 768, this means the screen is composed of 1024 horizontal dots (horizontal resolution) and 768 vertical lines (vertical resolution).

Highlight Zone III

Highlight Zone is an enhancement feature to increase luminance in a certain area of the monitor for brighter and sharper images/photos. Highlight Zone III is carried by Samsung's unique circuit technology and a powerful combination of programs in order to implement the Highlight Zone feature. This is a user friendly program that automatically highlights a certain video area or enables users to specify an area of their choice to be highlighted.

MagicBright™

MagicBright is an advanced monitor that boasts more than twice the brightness and sharpness compared to conventional models, and which provides a contextual display environment depending on word processing, internet, game or video purposes. The user can use the front button panel to control the screen at four different levels of brightness and sharpness for their preference.

MagicGreen

The MagicGreen CDT monitor has adopted a Well-Being CDT that is coated with a Vital & Pure coating, which radiates far infrared and anion and provides antibacterial and deodorizing effects.

zVital Coating Radiates far infrared and anion by applying a specialized ceramic on the surface of the CDT funnel.

zPure Coating

Provides antibacterial deodorizing effects by treating the surface with
