model only.)
Select the input signal to output to the next monitor and the output mode to simplify the connection
and control of displaying devices.
―If the MST mode is selected for DP OUT, FreeSync is not supported for all connected monitors.
―Before selecting the MST mode for DP OUT, make sure that the device supports DisplayPort:MST (Daisy

―Samsung S60* series monitor is recommended for SST connection.
•MST/SST: A technology used for connection and driving of multi-stream display signals.
‒MST: Stands for Multi-Stream Transport. Can transport multiple video and audio streams, but
needs the support of both the drive capacity of the graphics card and the resolution of the
monitor.
‒SST: Stands for Single Stream Transport. Can transport only a combination of a single video
stream and a single audio stream.

•When connecting a PC using DP cable, you must set DP OUT mode to "DisplayPort: MST (SST)" on
the OSD menu. (OSD – System – DP OUT - DisplayPort:MST/DisplayPort:SST)
•Because of the bandwidth limit of DisplayPort Ver. 1.2, up to two 2560 x 1440 @ 75 Hz monitors
can be connected and used. But this specification may vary depending on the cable used and the
performance of the graphics card.

―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.

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 or DisplayPort mode.
Use the HDMI/DP cable provided by the manufacturer when using FreeSync.
―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.
•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 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.

―For additional AMD graphics card models that support the FreeSync feature, visit the official AMD website
(https://www.amd.com/en/products/specifications/graphics).
―Select FreeSync Off if you are using a graphics card from a different manufacturer.
