How to Check if Your Samsung Monitor is Causing Unexpected Results With the On/Off Timers
Are you experiencing unexpected results with your devices' On/Off timers? Look no further, the issue may be with your Samsung monitor's internal clock. Read on to learn more about this and how to resolve it.
Are All Samsung Monitor Models Affected?
The short answer is no. Only older models such as the PM, QM-R, and QM-B, which do not have an NTP server to maintain accurate time exhibit this behavior. If you own one of these models and are facing problems with your On/Off timers, it is likely that the clock drift issue is to blame.
What is Clock Drift and How Does it Affect On/Off Timers?
Clock drift is the phenomenon of a device's internal clock losing or gaining time over a period. In the case of Samsung monitors, the clock drifting may cause the On/Off timers to trigger at unexpected times. This can be frustrating and inconvenient for users.
How to Resolve the Issue
If you suspect that your Samsung monitor's internal clock is causing problems with the On/Off timers, the first step is to check the clock's accuracy. Here's how:
Press MENU
Go to System
Go to Time
Go to Clock
Verify the time is accurate
Once you have adjusted the time on your monitor, you should notice that the accuracy of the On/Off timers is fixed. If the problem persists, there may be another underlying issue and it is recommended to reach out to Samsung customer support for further assistance.
