fixed/inactive text or icons) for more than two hours.

(2) Change the aspect ratio from time to time. Fill the entire screen with the image

and eliminate the black bars whenever possible. Avoid displaying images in 4:3 aspect ratio over a long period of time, otherwise there may be visible burn

marks on the screen as two vertical lines. (3) Turn on the ECO Mode function when displaying PC input image. (4) This TV is designed for home use only. Do not use it as a commercial display in

public areas.Please note that the product warranty does not cover any screen
