IMAGE RETENTION
Examples of Image Retention
NOTE
About screen defects
About residual images
About the panel screen
Image Retention can be an issue for any plasma display, and is caused by displaying fixed (non-moving) images for extended periods of time. If you follow this
simple guideline below you will enjoy a high quality picture for many years to com e.
4x3 Image Display
“Letterbox” Image
Display
“On-Screen Di splay”
ENGLISH
Hitachi has included a number of features, which help to reduce image retention. Please refer to the user manual for this mode for additional instructions on how
to use these features. To avoid image retention, please follow these simple guidelines.
Activate the Screen Saver Mode.
Use Aspect Ratio modes that completely fill the screen with picture.
- Make sure 4 x 3 aspect ratio and letterbox images are not displayed more than 15 of total viewing time.
Avoid using split screen (PIP) modes for long periods of time.
Do not display still images, such as menus from game consoles, PCs or logos, on the monitor screen for long periods of time.
Reduce the “Contrast” level setting to the lowest acceptable setting.
x High precision technology is used in the making of plasma panels but there may be dark spots (points that do not illuminate) and bright spots (points that are
too bright) in some cases. These do not indicate a malfunction.
x In some cases, residual images may remain after the short-term display of still images and another image is displayed, but these will disappear and return to
normalcy. This is not a malfunction.
x Plasma displays display images by means of electrical discharges inside the panel. Because of this, the temperature of the panel surface may rise in some
cases. Also, plasma displays are made of finely processed glass. A reinforced glass filter is installed over the panel surface but avoid strong impact because
there is still danger of glass breakage.

The type of video board or connecting cable used, may not allow for correct display adjustment of Horizontal Position, Vertical Position, Horizontal Clock
and Clock Phase.
The monitor may fail to display an animation image correctly when a signal having a vertical frequency of 85Hz or higher is input to it.
The monitor differentiates the signal modes according to the horizontal and vertical frequencies and the horizontal and vertical sync signal polarities. Note
that different signals having all these elements alike may be handled as the same signal.
Displaying images with more than 512 lines of vertical resolution at Full display (compressed display) can result in the interpolation of stripes.
