OSD(On Screen Display)

On screen display (OSD) allows you to configure on-screen settings to optimize the picture quality as required. It allows you to change the screen brightness, tint, size and many other settings using menus displayed on the screen.

Gamma

The Gamma menu adjusts the grey scale that represents middle tones on the screen. Adjusting the brightness brightens the whole screen, but adjusting Gamma only brightens the medium brightness.

Grey scale

Scale refers to levels of color intensity that show variations of color change from darker areas to brighter areas on the screen. Changes to the screen brightness are expressed with black and white variation, and grey scale refers to the medium area between black and white. Changing the grey scale through Gamma adjustment will change the medium brightness on the screen.

Scanning rate

Scanning rate, or refresh rate, refers to the frequency of screen refreshes. Screen data is transmitted as it refreshes to display an image, although the refreshing is invisible to the naked eye. The number of screen refreshes is called scanning rate and is measured in Hz. A scanning rate of 60Hz means that the screen refreshes 60 times per second. The screen scanning rate depends on the performance of the graphics cards in your PC and monitor.

Horizontal Frequency

Characters or images displayed on the monitor screen consist of numerous dots (pixels). Pixels are transmitted in horizontal lines, which are then arranged vertically to create an image. The horizontal frequency is measured in kHz and represents how many times horizontal lines per second are transmitted and displayed on the monitor screen. A horizontal frequency of 85 means that the horizontal lines that make up an image are transmitted 85 000 times per second, and the horizontal frequency is indicated in 85kHz.

Vertical Frequency

One image is made of numerous horizontal lines. The vertical frequency is measured in Hz and represents how many images can be created per second by those horizontal lines. A vertical frequency of 60 means that an image is transmitted 60 times per second. The vertical frequency is also called "refresh rate" and affects screen flicker.

The 24-inch model, S24C450MW, stands out for its expansive screen real estate, ideal for multitasking and managing multiple windows concurrently.

All models feature a 178-degree viewing angle which ensures consistent image quality from various positions, essential in conference rooms or office settings where individuals might be seated at different angles in relation to the screen.

Additionally, these monitors are equipped with Samsung's MagicTechnology which provides features such as Magic Bright and Magic Upscale. Magic Bright adjusts the brightness, color, and contrast settings based on content type, while Magic Upscale enhances lower resolution images for better clarity.

Ergonomically designed stands enable users to adjust height, tilt, and swivel, promoting posture-friendly usage during long hours. The availability of VESA compatibility further allows for flexible mounting solutions, optimizing workspace utilization.

Connectivity options are robust, featuring both VGA and DVI-D ports to ensure compatibility with various devices. This versatility makes the monitors suitable for different setups, whether connecting to legacy systems or newer devices.

Moreover, energy efficiency is a priority, with these models meeting Energy Star certifications that help reduce power consumption, supporting sustainability efforts. The eco-friendly features not only save on electricity bills but also contribute to a smaller carbon footprint.
