Adaptive-Sync (for NVIDIA graphics card)
Adaptive-Sync 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 Adaptive-Sync menu items on the product may vary, depending on the product model and
compatibility with the NVIDIA graphics card.
•Off: Disable Adaptive-Sync.
•On: Enable the Adaptive-Sync feature with a higher screen frame rate. Screen tearing (abnormal
sync between the screen and content) is reduced in this mode. Note, however, that intermittent
screen flickering may occur during gameplay.
If you use the Adaptive-Sync 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, or visit the NVIDIA website
to check your graphics driver’s version and update it with the latest one.
•When using the Adaptive-Sync function, the screen may flicker due to the fluctuation of 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 product may be degraded.
―If you encounter any issues when using the function, contact the Samsung Service Centre.
―When the resolution is changed while setting Adaptive-Sync, the screen tearing can happen intermittently.
Set Adaptive-Sync to Off and change the resolution.
―The function is unavailable in the devices (e.g. AV devices) that have no NVIDIA graphics card. If the function
is applied, the screen may have malfunction.
―Depending on the source device, 4K output from an AV device is supported only when the Adaptive-Sync is
Off.
―C27G7*T* / C32G7*T* model only.
―Use the DisplayPort cable provided by the manufacturer when using Adaptive-Sync.
―Install the latest NVIDIA graphics card driver to enable Adaptive-Sync.
―Use Window 10 or higher to enable Adaptive-Sync.
―Enable the Adaptive-Sync feature while in DisplayPort mode only.
―This menu is not available when PIP/PBP is enabled.
―If the Adaptive-Sync 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 or 1.2, the Adaptive-Sync mode is disabled.
―C27G7*T* / C32G7*T* model only.
―If the DisplayPort Ver. is set to 1.1 or 1.2 and Refresh Rate is set to 60 Hz, Adaptive-Sync mode is disabled.
―C49G9*T* model only.
―HDMI port only supports AMD FreeSync, so even if you connect NVIDIA graphics card to HDMI port, it will be
indicated as FreeSync on OSD.
―C27G7*T* / C32G7*T* model only.
The models in the Graphics Cards list supports Adaptive-Sync
Adaptive-Sync can only be used with specific NVIDIA graphics card models. Refer to the following list for
supported graphics cards:
Make sure to install the latest official graphics drivers from NVIDIA that support Adaptive-Sync.
―For additional NVIDIA graphics card models that support the Adaptive-Sync feature, visit the official NVIDIA
website.
―Select Adaptive-Sync Off if you are using a graphics card from a different manufacturer.
―When applying the Adaptive-Sync function via the DisplayPort cable, it may fail to work due to the bandwidth
limitation of certain NVIDIA graphics card.

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?
―The FreeSync function is only enabled in HDMI (C27G7*T* / C32G7*T* model only.) or DisplayPort mode.
Use the HDMI (C27G7*T* / C32G7*T* model only.) /DP cable provided by the manufacturer when using
FreeSync.
―This menu is not available when PIP/PBP is enabled.
―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 or 1.2, the FreeSync mode is disabled.

―If the DisplayPort Ver. is set to 1.1 or 1.2 and Refresh Rate is set to 60 Hz, FreeSync mode is disabled.
―C49G9*T* model only.
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 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 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.

―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.
