When using dual monitors from your computer while in DSC mode at 2560 x 1440 @ 240 Hz or higher or when using PBP mode from the computer, the computer may not function properly due to the output limit of the computer graphics card. If this happens, decrease the resolution and refresh rate from the computer.

If a signal that belongs to the following standard signal modes is transmitted from your PC, the screen will automatically be adjusted. If the signal transmitted from the PC does not belong to the standard signal modes, the screen may be blank even though the power LED turns on. In such a case, change the settings according to the following table by referring to the graphics card user manual.

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.
Depending on the source device, 4K output from an AV device is supported only when the Adaptive-Sync is Off.

FreeSync (for AMD graphics card)
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? This menu is not available when PC/AV Mode is set to AV. This menu is not available when PIP Mode is enabled. The FreeSync function is only enabled in HDMI1, HDMI2 or DisplayPort mode.
Use the HDMI/DP cable provided by the manufacturer when using FreeSync. If the 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 Premium Pro mode is disabled. If the DisplayPort Ver. is set to 1.2, the FreeSync Premium Pro 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 Premium Pro 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 Premium Pro 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. Select FreeSync Premium Pro 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.
