How to Set up Your PC Software (Windows only)

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

First, click on “Settings” on the Windows start menu.

While “Settings” is highlighted, move the cursor so that “control panel” is highlight- ed.

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

Navigate to the “Settings” tab on the dis- play dialog-box.

The two key variables that apply to the TV-PC interface are “resolution” and “col- ors.” The correct settings for these two vari- ables are:

* Screen area (sometimes called “resolu- tion”): 1024 x 768 pixels

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

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