Using YourTV as a Computer (PC) Display

Setting Up Your PC Software (Based on Windows XP)
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 particular video card. However, 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.)
1. First, click on “Control Panel” on the Windows start menu.
2. When the control panel window appears, click on “Appearance and Themes” and a
display dialog-box will appear.
3. When the control panel window appears, click on “Display” and a display dialog-box
will appear.
4. Navigate to the “Settings” tab on the display dialog-box.
The correct size setting (resolution)
Optimum: 1024 x 768 pixels
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.

Display Modes

If the signal from the system equals the standard signal mode, the screen is adjusted automatically. If the signal from the system doesn’t equal the standard
signal mode, adjust the mode by referring to your video card user guide; otherwise there may be no video. For the display modes listed below, the screen
image has been optimized during manufacture.
➢
•The PC text quality of PL-42C91HP/PL-42Q91HP/PL-42C71HPis optimum in XGA mode (1024 x 768@60Hz).
• The PC text quality of PL-50C91H/PL-50Q91HPis optimum in WXGA mode (1360 x 768@60Hz).
(Three pixels on left, right, top and bottom will be grayed out at the resolution setting of 1360x768@60Hz. This is not a mechanical problem but a result caused
by the pixel difference between the standard resolution and the PDPpanel.)
• When this TV is used as a PC display, 32-bit color is supported.
• Depending on the manufacturer, your PC display screen might appear different. (and depending on your particular version of Windows.)
Check your PC instruction book for information about connecting your PC to a TV.

SOURCE button on the remote control or SOURCE button on the side panel to enter a VIDEO mode. Also, make sure that the PC is connected.
