You are about to be treated to the THX of OSD menu's. The screens that Samsung have used in the 171MP are among the nicest we have ever seen in a monitor, and quite frankly make other displays seem cheap and shoddy in this regard.

The display menus are broken up in to four sections - TV, Digital TV, Computer and OSD. For adjusting the display's resolution there are a handful of handy options, but most of us are content with simply pushing that ubiquitous "Auto Adjust" button on the front panel that does everything for you in a matter of seconds.

Features of the on screen display include: PC- brightness, contrast, colour (Mode1/2/3, User), Image, Reset, Image size, Image effect, H-Position, V-Position, Sound, PIP TV - Setup (channel system, channel edit, fine tune, stereo system,LNA), volume, Input format, brightness, contrast, sound, screen size. Video - Picture, Sound, Active area, timer, closed caption, V-Chip OSD - Language, position, halftone, duration, beep
