Overview

Function Description

The Samsung S49CG95* is a high-performance monitor designed for various applications, including PC usage, video signal display, and as a USB hub. It supports a wide range of resolutions and refresh rates, making it suitable for both productivity and gaming. A key feature is its support for FreeSync Premium Pro technology, which aims to eliminate screen tearing and reduce lag during gameplay, enhancing the overall gaming experience. The monitor can function as a USB HUB, allowing users to connect multiple USB devices like keyboards, mice, and external storage directly to the monitor, simplifying cable management and expanding connectivity options. It also supports HDR10, providing a richer and more vibrant visual experience for compatible content, particularly on Windows 10 systems with specific graphics cards.

Usage Features

Installation and Setup

The manual provides clear, step-by-step instructions for attaching the stand, emphasizing the importance of placing the product on a flat, stable surface with the screen facing downwards during assembly. It also details precautions for moving the product, advising users to hold the lower corners or edges and avoid applying direct pressure to the screen or holding it upside down by the stand alone. Proper ventilation is crucial, and the manual specifies maintaining adequate space around the product to prevent overheating.

Ergonomics and Posture

For optimal user comfort and to prevent strain, the manual offers guidance on correct posture when using the monitor. This includes maintaining a straight back, a specific distance between the eyes and the screen (45-50cm), and ensuring the screen is slightly downward and directly in front of the user. Adjusting the angle to prevent light reflection and keeping forearms perpendicular to upper arms are also recommended. The monitor's tilt and height can be adjusted, and users are advised to hold both sides of the product during adjustment to prevent damage. A slight noise during height adjustment is noted as normal.

Control Panel and Connectivity

The monitor features a control panel with a power button and a control menu for navigating settings. The control menu allows users to access various functions, including Home, Settings, Return, and Source selection. The monitor also includes a microphone with a switch for activation/deactivation, though voice and sound features are unavailable when the microphone is off. An LED power indicator shows the product's status (on, off, standby).

For connectivity, the S49CG95* offers multiple ports:

  • PC USB-C: Connects to a PC for USB HUB functionality (USB 3.0).
  • USB-A: For connecting USB devices like keyboards and mice, and for software updates.
  • HDMI1/HDMI2: For connecting to source devices using HDMI or HDMI-DVI cables. HDMI2 is specifically for the supplied High Speed HDMI certified cable.
  • DP: For connecting to a PC using a DisplayPort cable.
  • DC 20V: For connecting to the AC/DC adapter.

The manual also provides guidance on tidying up connected cables by passing them through a designated hole in the stand.

FreeSync Premium Pro

This feature is designed for AMD graphics card users to eliminate screen tearing and reduce input lag. It can be toggled On or Off via the "Game Mode" setting. Users are advised to apply the optimum resolution when using FreeSync Premium Pro and to use the HDMI/DP cable provided by the manufacturer. Potential issues like screen flickering or blurry text are addressed with troubleshooting tips, such as decreasing game settings, updating graphics drivers, or temporarily disabling the feature.

Supported Resolutions

The manual lists extensive tables of supported resolutions for both PC input signals (VESA DMT, VESA CVT, CVT Custom) and video signals (CTA-861). It highlights the optimal recommended resolution for gaming (5120 x 1440 @ 120 Hz with Game Mode on) and provides information on horizontal/vertical frequencies, clock frequencies, and polarity for each resolution.

Maintenance Features

Cleaning

The manual provides specific instructions for cleaning the monitor to ensure its longevity and maintain its appearance. It advises against using ultrasonic wave humidifiers nearby, as they can cause white stains on high-glossy models. For internal cleaning, users are directed to contact the Samsung Customer Service Centre. When cleaning the exterior, it is crucial to power off the product and PC, disconnect the power cord, and use a clean, soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a soft cloth dampened with water (wrung out well) can be used. Users are warned against applying cleaning agents containing alcohol, solvent, or surfactant, and against spraying water or detergent directly onto the product.

Troubleshooting and Service

The manual outlines situations where an administration fee may be charged for service, even if the product is under warranty. These include cases where no defect is found (e.g., due to not reading the user manual), or when the issue is caused by customer mishandling, external factors, or unauthorized repairs. It emphasizes that Samsung is not liable for damage caused by improper screws, unauthorized wall-mount kits, or using non-Samsung power cords. Users are encouraged to consult the user manual first if they encounter issues, to avoid unnecessary service charges.

General Precautions

Several general safety and usage precautions are detailed:

  • Avoid placing candles, insect repellents, or cigarettes on the product.
  • Keep plastic packaging away from children.
  • Do not install the product on unstable surfaces or near heat sources.
  • Protect the product from direct sunlight, dust, moisture, oil, or smoke.
  • Do not drop the product or apply impact.
  • Disconnect the power cord during lightning or thunderstorms, or when not in use for extended periods.
  • Avoid leaving stationary images on the screen for prolonged periods to prevent burn-in; use power-saving mode or screen savers.
  • Rest eyes for 5 minutes every hour of use.
  • Do not touch the screen when hot.
  • Store small accessories out of children's reach.
  • Exercise caution when adjusting the product angle or stand height to avoid injury.

These guidelines ensure safe operation and help maintain the product's performance and lifespan.
