Connecting and Using a Source Device
Chapter 03
Read below before installing the monitor.
1
Check the shapes of both ends of the cables that came with the monitor, and check the shapes and
positions of the matching ports on the monitor and external devices.
2
Before connecting signal cables, disconnect the power cables for the monitor and external devices
from the power outlet to prevent device damage from a short circuit or overcurrent.
3
After connecting all signal cables, connect the power cables for the monitor and external devices
to the power outlet.
4
Read the user manual to familiarize yourself with the monitor functions, precautions, and proper
use, before using the installed monitor.
Connecting and Using a Source Device
Select a connection method suitable for your source device.
―Connecting parts may differ in different products.
―Provided ports may vary depending on the product.
Connection Using the HDMI Cable
Check to make sure that the power cables for the monitor and external devices, such as
computers and set-top boxes, are not connected to the power outlet.
HDMI IN
―When connecting an HDMI cable, use the cable that came with the components of the monitor. If you use
an HDMI cable other than provided by Samsung, the image quality may be degraded. A Samsung branded
cable is recommended.
28
Connection Using the DP Cable
Check to make sure that the power cables for the monitor and external devices, such as
computers and set-top boxes, are not connected to the power outlet.
―When connecting a DP cable, use the cable that came with the components of the monitor. If you use a DP
cable other than provided by Samsung, the image quality may be degraded. A Samsung branded cable is
recommended.
Connection Using the USB Type-C Cable
Check to make sure that the power cables for the monitor and external devices, such as
computers and set-top boxes, are not connected to the power outlet.
The USB Type-C port can support USB Power Delivery, Data, and DP video signal.
According to the USB Power Delivery 3.0 specification, the monitor can charge your notebook or mobile
phone when you connect it to the monitor with a USB Type-C cable.
―For , a maximum charging power of 15 W is supported. For , a maximum charging power
of 95 W is supported. So, is proper for a mobile phone and is proper for a notebook.
Charging speed may vary depending on the notebook or mobile phone connected to the monitor.
―Because notebooks and mobile phones with a USB Type-C port released on the market are very various,
we cannot guarantee that the monitor can charge all types of notebooks and mobile phones with a USB
Type-C port.
―Make sure that the USB Type-C cable complies with the USB PD specification. Otherwise, your devices may
be damaged. A Samsung branded cable is recommended.
29
Connecting to Headphones Connecting the Product to a Source Device as
a USB Hub
Connecting a Source Device to the Product
―The product can function as a USB hub when it is connected to a source device via a USB Type-C cable or
USB Type-C to A cable. Then you can connect USB devices to the product without having to directly connect
them to the source device, and then you can control the USB devices from the product.
To use the product as a USB hub, connect a source device to the product using a USB Type-C cable or
USB Type-C to A cable.
Connect the USB cable to on the back of the product and to or on the source device.
30
Utilizing the Product as a USB HUB
Using the product as a hub, connect and use various source devices with the product at the same time.
A source device cannot connect to multiple devices at the same time if it has a limited number of available input/output ports. In this case, the hub feature of the product will improve your work efficiency by
allowing you to connect multiple devices to the USB ports on the product at the same time without directly connecting them to a source device.
If multiple devices are connected to a source device, the many cables around the source device may look messy. Connecting the devices directly to the product will resolve such inconvenience.
Connect a mobile device such as an MP3 player or smartphone to the product connected to a source device. This allows you to control the device or charge the device battery from your PC.
―To detect and start a USB device faster, connect the device to the USB 3.0 port on the product. The read/write rate is affected by the USB device and your source device.
―The product does not support media play. If you need to play a file on your USB device, connect the product as a USB hub to your source device, and then play the file on your source device.
―For USB-related problems caused by OS, drive programs or software, please contact relevant suppliers.
―With the launch of various USB devices on the market, we cannot guarantee that our products are matched with all USB devices.
―For an external mass-storage HDD requiring external power supply, be sure to connect it to a power source.
―The battery can be charged in the power-saving mode, but it cannot be charged when the product is powered off.
―Charging your USB device is not possible if the power cable is disconnected from the power socket.
―The USB device needs to be purchased separately.

A detailed description of each function is provided. Refer to your product for details.
Chapter 05
―The functions available may vary depending on the product model. The color and shape of parts may differ
from what is shown. Specifications are subject to change without notice to improve quality.
PIP/PBP Mode
Enable or disable the PIP/PBP Mode function.
The PIP (Picture in Picture) function separates the screen into two parts. One source device is displayed
on the main screen at the same time the another source device is displayed in inset windows.
The PBP (Picture by Picture) function separates the screen in half displaying output from two different
source devices simultaneously on the left and right sides of the screen.
―DisplayPort and USB Type-C 1 cannot be selected as input sources at the same time.
―PIP/PBP mode is compatible with Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10.
―The PIP/PBP function may not be available depending on the specifications of the graphics card used. If the
screen is blank in PIP/PBP mode when the optimum resolution is selected, go to Control Panel → Display →
Screen Resolution and click Detect on the PC. (Instructions are based on Windows 7.)
―The screen may flicker briefly or appear after a delay when you enable or disable the PIP/PBP function or
when you change the screen size with the PIP/PBP function activated.
This can typically arise when a PC and a monitor are connected to two or more input sources. It has nothing
to do with the performance of a monitor.
The issue is mainly caused when the video signals are delayed in transmission to the monitor depending on
the graphics card performance.
―To maximize the picture quality, it is recommended to use a graphics card that supports DFHD (3840 x
1080, 3840 x 1200) resolution.
―When using PIP/PBP, automatic switching to the optimum resolution and frequency is not available, due
to conformance with the graphics card and Windows. Set PIP/PBP Mode to Off. Alternatively, restart the
monitor, then set the resolution to the optimum setting using the Windows interface.

The KVM (keyboard, video, and mouse) switch enables users to use only a keyboard, a video monitor, and a mouse for controlling multiple input sources.
The function of the Samsung USB switch is as follows:
•When PIP/PBP of a Samsung monitor is on, USB devices (I/O device, USB storage device, etc.) connected to the monitor can be switched between different input sources using the USB switch.
‒Two different input sources must be connected to the monitor via source ports (HDMI, DP, USB-C#1, USB-C#2), and an upstream USB hub must be correctly connected to the monitor if required.
‒You must connect USB devices to the Samsung monitor, enable PIP/PBP, and then correctly set up USB hub assignment in the OSD.
•This function can be operated using the USB Switch Shortcut key or the USB Switch item in OSD.
―Each of USB-C#1 and USB-C#2 can be regarded as an upstream USB hub as well as an input source. Therefore, it is unnecessary to set up USB hub assignment for these two ports.
This option is for switching a USB device to a different input source.
―The option is disabled and appears dimmed if PIP/PBP is Off.
―When a USB device is switched to a source, information about the source including the USB hub port is displayed on the screen.
―The Keyboard and Mouse (KM) switch enables users to interact with and manage up to three input sources using a single mouse and keyboard.
―To prevent data damage or loss, make sure that, before performing Switch USB, no USB storage devices are being used by the input sources connected to the monitor.
