Samsung LCD users stop on by plz

[WaTaGuMp]

I was wondering those of you that use Samsung LCD's as to which software you install to get them looking their best. I am most likely going to get a 204b in a couple of days and this is just one of the things I am curious about.

magic tune, and natural color, both which are included with the monitor. I also use nvidia control panel but thats just for minor tweaks.

Yeah have been reading what comes with them, do they have to stay installed?

I am also wondering if you need to use the software if you are using a DVI connection.

I just installed the software that came with the monitor. It doesnt run in the background or anything, or at least i've never seen it run (I have a Samsung 730B).

Just install the software it comes with, then you wont have to worry. The Magic Color and other things it comes with are pretty nice.

Yah you can remove them if you wish, its like uninstalling any other program. I dont recommend you do though or use another companys color management program. And yes you can use it with both analog and dvi connection, i use dvi with software installed on my 940b.

Yeah I understand it can be used with both just something I read said it was closer on calibration with a DVI connection dunno if thats true. I also wont remove it since it will take away the settings I was hoping the settings stayed if it was removed, not a big deal tho thx.

I also use the MagicColor and MagicTune to tweak the settings for my 204B, which as Nextman916 said are pretty nice (good). MagicTune is really easy to use (just hit the front panel button to instantly choose between Game, Internet, Text, Movie, or Custom settings). MagicColor is easy to use too, and the 204B's color redition is excellent.

The software applets also include MagicRotation, which is used for auto-calibration of the on-screen image when you rotate the panel to read text in Portrait layout.

While you can uninstall the software I would just leave it on - it doesn't run in the background so you aren't wasting CPU or memory. I don't like to keep uninstalling and reinstalling software. To do this eventually will usually cause you problems in the future unless you low-level format your hard drives at least every year or so. Driver Cleaner isn't available for every program. Why would you want to uninstall the software anyway?

I have always tried to keep as little as possible installed on my comp, its just the way I have always been since it makes it easier to diagnose things if any issues ever pop up. I will use the MagicTune and MagicColor per the reccomendations, do the drivers need to be used or will it run fine on Windows drivers.

The 204B should run fine on the Windows drivers, but will probably run better on the 204B's own optimized driver.
