LED screen
• Although the LED screen is manufactured by state-ofthe-art technologies, with effective pixels reaching up
to 99.99% or even higher, black spots or bright spots
such as red, blue and green may appear on the LED
screen continuously. This is the structure nature of the
LED panel rather than a failure.
• As the LED screen is manufactured by state-of-theart technologies, it can attain high performance and
picture display quality. The backlight setting of the
TV is set as the maximal brightness of the TV set.
However, when no source is available under dark environments or when watching the LED TV on blank
screens, you will find that the TV brightness is uneven.
It is a normal condition rather than a failure.
