DP OUT (S24A60U / S27A60U / S32A60U model only.)
Select the input signal to output to the next monitor and the output mode to
simplify the connection and control of displaying devices. If the MST mode is
selected for DP OUT, FreeSync is not supported for all connected monitors.
Before selecting the MST mode for DP OUT, make sure that the device supports
DisplayPort:MST (Daisy
Chain)/HBR2 (High Bit Rate). Incorrect settings may lead to black screen or
inconsistency between the actual output mode and the selected output mode. If
a black screen occurs, change the DP OUT output mode. Two units can be
connected for MST and four units can be connected for SST. Samsung S60 series
monitor is recommended for SST connection. · MST/SST: A technology used for
connection and driving of multi-stream display signals.
MST: Stands for Multi-Stream Transport. Can transport multiple video and audio
streams, but needs the support of both the drive capacity of the graphics card
and the resolution of the monitor.
SST: Stands for Single Stream Transport. Can transport only a combination of a
single video stream and a single audio stream.

· Because of the bandwidth limit of DisplayPort Ver. 1.2, up to two 2560 x
1440 @ 75 Hz monitors can be connected and used. But this specification may
vary depending on the cable used and the performance of the graphics card.

Horizontal Frequency
The time required to scan a single line from the left to the right side of the screen is called a horizontal cycle. The reciprocal number of a horizontal cycle is called horizontal frequency. Horizontal frequency is measured in
kHz.
Vertical Frequency Repeating the same picture dozens of times per second allows you to view natural pictures. The repeat frequency is called “vertical frequency” or “refresh rate” and is indicated in Hz.
This product can be set to only one resolution for each screen size to obtain
the optimum picture quality due to the nature of the panel. Using a resolution
other than the specified resolution may degrade the picture quality. To avoid
this, it is recommended that you select the optimum resolution specified for
your product.
Some resolutions listed in the table above may not be available depending on
graphics card specifications.

FreeSync technology is solution that eliminates screen tearing without all the
usual lag and latency. This feature will eliminate screen tearing and lag
during game play. Improve your gaming experience. The displayed FreeSync menu
items on the monitor may vary, depending on the monitor model and
compatibility with the AMD graphics card. · Off: Disable FreeSync.
· On: Turn on the AMD graphics cards’ FreeSync function. You may experience
intermittent flickers when playing some games.
Apply the optimum resolution when using FreeSync. The refresh rate setting
method please refer to Q & A How can I change the frequency? The FreeSync
function is only enabled in HDMI or DisplayPort mode.
Use the HDMI/DP cable provided by the manufacturer when using FreeSync. If the
DisplayPort Ver. is set to 1.1, the FreeSync mode is disabled. If you use the
FreeSync function while playing a game, the following symptoms may occur: ·
The screen may flicker depending on the type of graphics card, the game option
settings, or the
video being played. Try the following actions: decrease the game setting
values, change the current FreeSync mode to Off, or visit the AMD website to
check your graphics driver’s version and update it with the latest one.
· While you are using the FreeSync function, the screen may flicker due to
variation of the output frequency from the graphics card.
· The response rate during the game may fluctuate depending on the resolution.
A higher resolution generally decreases the response rate.
· The sound quality of the monitor may be degraded. If you encounter any
issues when using the function, contact the Samsung Service Center. If you
change the screen resolution while the function is On, the screen may
intermittently blank out due
to the graphic card. Set FreeSync to Off and change the resolution. The
function is unavailable in the devices (e.g. AV devices) that have no AMD
graphic card. If the function is
applied, the screen may have malfunction.
The models in the Graphics Cards list supports FreeSync
FreeSync can only be used with specific AMD graphics card models. Refer to the
following list for supported graphics cards:
Make sure to install the latest official graphics drivers from AMD that
support FreeSync. For additional AMD graphics card models that support the
FreeSync feature, visit the official AMD website
(https://www.amd.com/en/products/specifications/graphics). Select FreeSync Off
if you are using a graphics card from a different manufacturer. When applying
the FreeSync function via the HDMI cable, it may fail to work due to the
bandwidth
limitation of certain AMD graphics card.
