The Windows display-settings for a typical computer are shown below. But the actual screens on your PC will probably be different, depending upon your particular version of Windows and your particular video card. But even if your actual screens look different, the same, basic set-up information will apply in almost all cases. (If not, contact your computer manufacturer or Samsung Dealer.)

On the windows screen, select in the following sequence : Start ➝ Settings ➝ Control Panel.

When the control panel screen appears, click on “Display” and a display dialog-box will appear.

Select the “Settings” tab in the display dialog-box.

The two key variables that apply the PDP-PC inter- face are “resolution” and “colors.” The correct set- tings for these two variables are:

• Size (sometimes called “resolution”): 640 x 480 pixels.

• Color: “24-bit” color (might also be expressed as “16 million colors”)Shown at left is a typical screen for “Display” dialog box.

If a vertical-frequency option exists on your dis- play settings dialog box, the correct value is “60” or “60 Hz.” Otherwise, just click “OK” and exit the dialog box.

Both screen position and size will vary, depending on the type of PC monitor and its resolution. The table below shows all of the display modes that are supported:

•The interlace mode is not supported.

Notes:

•When this PDP is used as a PC display, 24-bit color is supported (over 16 million colors).

Check your PC instruction book for information about connecting your PC to a PDP.

•If a vertical and horizontal frequency-select mode exists, select 60Hz (vertical) and 31.5kHZ (horizontal).
