“The Plasma TV is a very high techology product giving you fine picture details. Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may remain still on the screen. Long-time unmoving still pictures may cause permanent shade effect on the screen and even the picture has been changed, its influence lasts as ghost picture. This ghost effect may disturb the user even though it will diminish in the course of time. To prevent this, don't leave still pictures for example teletext pages or frozen pictures on the screen for a long time. Please note that this does not affect the performance of your product.”
