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.

items on the monitor may vary, depending on the monitor model and
compatibility with the AMD graphics card. · Off: Disable FreeSync.

FreeSync function is in use and the text displayed on the PC screen looks
blurry or corrupted, resolve
the issue by changing the resolution of the PC screen to the recommended
resolution. 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.

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 Centre. 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
