i bought this, but it was the last one so they didn't have the manuals and stuff

question is, when it "auto adjusts", it goes throught some settings, finds a couple good ones, then the last one it picks and stays on is a little fuzzy. Anyone have this monitor and can tell me where to adjust the clarity? Also, anyone know where to find online samsung manuals. I know... the website... but didn't see a pdf manual or the like.

thanks
david

what video card are you using?
I assume its DVI?
checked your cables for loose connection / interference etc?
correct drivers?
 
here's the manual....link...read carefully, look for the english version, think they had it listed under danish.
David, if ya can, let us know how ya like that LCD, I seen it on display at BB last night and played Star Wars Jedi Knight II and she looked sweet!! I was so tempted...good luck.
 
the video card i was using was not dvi. i heard it actually makes no difference

thanks for the manual 🙂

i loved it . only had it for a night as i just picked it up for a customer of mine. can't compare it to any others as i haven't used them for more than 2 minutes, but this one was pretty sweet 🙂

thanks again

david
 
I suggest you go into the settings and fool with them manually. See what effect each setting has. Then, after you auto adjust, you can go and fool with the one option that it doesn't set well on it's own.

you call that flaming? he said he heard it didnt make a difference, and he is right, it makes pretty much no difference. my LCD looks the same as all of the digital displays i looked at before i purchased mine.

if it doesnt auto adjust well, it is probably a fault with the monitor or a setting on the computer, not the type of input.
 
This may be a stupid question, but are you running it at the native res? If not, that may be why it's "fuzzy".

No, flaming were the responses I was going to get by suggesting that DVI would fix it. In my case there was a difficult-to-diagnose and unfixable problem with the display that was immediately rectified by DVI. I haven't heard anyone say that DVI makes no difference who's tried it on _high-end, large (19/20") LCDs_. Maybe someone here can be the first to correct me? (I looked on your rigs but didn't see that you were using an LCD.) If not, then the original poster might give it a try. A particularly cruddy old PCI card may be the culprit and not the panel. I know on the Dell 20" LCD with an AGP GF2 Ultra there were issues, but swapping to DVI on another card fixed them all. I'm just trying to brainstorm...
 
sorry i didnt update my system rig for you...here ill go do that right now just for you. can you not believe me that i have one? i have a 18'' LCD and both analog and DVI looked the same on all of them i browsed in the store.
 
the reason for that may be the output, not the monitor itself. most stores use those 1>8 video splitters. I'm sure those do a job on the quality of the picture.

I have a 19" LCD and got a noticeable improvement in crispness when I changed from analog to DVI. I have heard that the store experience isn't always a good comparison because their cabling isn't as discrete as you might like.

But hey, maybe your eyes just aren't that good. 🙂
 
I have a Planar 17.4" flat panel. On this monitor there's no options to make the picture sharp, only the 'auto-adjust'. I actually use DVI so I never have to worry about it. The first couple of weeks I have to use the onboard video w/ analog. I HATE doing auto-adjusts every once in a while.

Do you have your resolution set to your native resolution of the monitor? Anything that's not native res will not look as sharp. My native res is 1280x1024. It looks great. At another res I can tell the difference.
 
I have at work Samsung 210T, and if I use it w. std VGA connector, I have to adjust it every time I turn it on. With DVI its allways crisp and clear, no adjusting needed. You can adjust the monitor when using vga, and have equal quality, but with DVI theres no need for adjusting. In that sense it does make a difference!

crazychicken, go into your Display contorl panel and in the advanced section, set your output to 60Hz. See if that helps.

i have 20/15 vision in both eyes. so maybe you were wrong?
 
Sorry to bump an older topic but I just got this monitor yesterday. I'm loving it so far. Just have a couple of questions on it. I have it hooked to an Elsa Gladiac 920 (GeForce 3) video card which has no DVI input (only analog). I read where camera120 said to set the refresh rate at 60. When I set mine to 60, there is flickering around any text that is up. When I set it to 70, it's pretty horrible. When I set it to 72 (which is best), there is very faint ghosting around icons and such. Could this be from using analog instead of DVI? Will DVI really make that much of a difference? If it does, do any of you use the new ATI Radeon 9700 Pro with this monitor in DVI mode? If so, how does it look in games?
 
What you should have gathered from this topic already is that DVI fixes all these minor problems. Use it 🙂

Can't help you on the 9700.
