Samsung CF390 user manual

To split the screen on your Samsung CF390 ultrawide monitor, you can use the Picture-by-Picture (PBP) feature. This allows you to connect two input sources to the monitor and display them side by side.
Here are the steps to split the screen using PBP:
1. Make sure you have two input sources connected to your monitor, such as two computers or a computer and a game console.
2. Press the joystick button located at the back of the monitor to access the on-screen display (OSD) menu.
3. Use the joystick to navigate through the OSD menu and select "Picture."
4. In the Picture menu, scroll down to find the "PBP" option.
5. Select "PBP" and press the joystick button to enter PBP mode.
6. In PBP mode, you will see a menu that allows you to choose the input sources and adjust their screen ratio. Use the joystick to select the desired input sources and adjust the screen ratio as per your preference (e.g., 50:50, 70:30, etc.).
7. Once you have made your selections, press the joystick button to apply the changes.
8. The screen will now be split, and you will see the selected input sources side by side.
You can also switch the main display between the input sources by pressing the joystick button and selecting the desired input as the main display.
Note: The availability and functionality of the PBP feature may vary depending on the specific model of your Samsung CF390 monitor. Refer to the user manual or contact Samsung support for detailed instructions tailored to your model.

3. Press the "Menu" button to activate the on-screen display (OSD) menu.
4. Once the OSD menu appears, you can navigate through the menu options using the directional buttons located near the "Menu" button.
5. Use the up/down or left/right buttons to browse through the menu options. The specific functions and settings available vary based on the monitor model.
6. To select a particular menu option or make changes, press the "Menu" button again or a dedicated "Enter" button.

Please note that these steps are generally applicable, but there might be slight differences based on the exact model and version of your Samsung CF390 curved monitor. Therefore, consult the device's user manual if necessary for specific instructions regarding your particular monitor model.

To troubleshoot your Samsung monitor, you can follow these steps:
1. Check Power Supply: Ensure that the monitor is receiving power by checking the power cable, outlet, and any power switches. Make sure the power cable is securely connected and the outlet is functioning correctly.
2. Verify Connections: Confirm that the cables connecting the monitor to your computer or any other devices are properly connected. If using HDMI or DVI cables, check for any bent or damaged pins.
3. Adjust Display Settings: Use the monitor's on-screen display (OSD) menu to adjust settings such as brightness, contrast, and resolution. Press the appropriate buttons on the monitor to access the OSD menu and navigate through the options.
4. Test with Different Devices: If possible, connect the monitor to a different computer or device to determine if the issue lies with the monitor or your computer. This will help identify whether the problem is related to the monitor or the computer's graphics card or settings.
5. Update Drivers: Visit the Samsung website and download the latest drivers for your monitor model. Install and update the drivers on your computer to ensure compatibility and optimal performance. If you are unsure of the exact model, it can usually be found on the back of the monitor.
6. Run Samsung's Self-Test Feature: Many Samsung monitors have a built-in self-test feature that can help diagnose the problem. Turn off the monitor, disconnect all cables except the power cord, and turn it back on. Press and hold the appropriate button(s) on the monitor--refer to the user manual to confirm the correct buttons for your specific model. The monitor will display different colors and patterns. If you observe any issues during this self-test, it may indicate a hardware problem.
7. Reset Monitor Settings: Use the monitor's OSD menu to perform a factory reset. This will revert all settings and configurations to the default values. Look for a "Reset" or "Factory Reset" option within the OSD menu.
8. Contact Samsung Support: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it might be necessary to contact Samsung customer support. Provide them with detailed information about the problem, including the model number of the monitor, to receive further assistance or schedule repairs if needed.
