• 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.

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.

• 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 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.
