The panel is a high technology product with resolution of two million to six million pixels. In a very few cases, you could see fine dots on the screen while you’re viewing the TV. Those dots are deactivated pixels and do not affect the performance and reliability of the TV.

• Generated Sound

Cracking noise A cracking noise that occurs when watching or turning off the TV is generated by plastic thermal contraction due to temperature and humidity. This noise is common for products where thermal deformation is required. Electrical circuit humming/panel buzzing A low level noise is generated from a high-speed switching circuit, which supplies a large amount of current to operate a product. It varies depending upon the product. This generated sound does not affect the performance and reliability of the product.

• Take care not to touch the ventilation

openings. When watching the TV for a long period, the ventilation openings may become hot. This does not affect the performance of the product or cause defects in the product.

• Do not install this product on a wall if it

could be exposed to oil or oil mist. This may damage the product and cause it to fall.

• If the TV feels cold to the touch, there may

be a small flicker when it is turned on. This is normal; there is nothing wrong with TV. Some minute dot defects may be visible on the screen, appearing as tiny red, green, or blue spots. However, they have no adverse effect on the TV’s performance. Avoid touching the LCD screen or holding your finger(s) against it for long periods of time. Doing so may produce some temporary distortion effects on the screen.

Preventing image burn or burn-in on your TV screen

• If a fixed image displays on the TV screen for

a long period of time, it will be imprinted and become a permanent disfigurement on the screen. This is image burn or burn-in and not covered by the warranty.

• Watching the TV for a long period of time

with the screen ratio of 4:3 (for the 21:9 model, 4:3 and 16:9) may cause image burn-in on the letterboxed area of the screen. When watching the TV for a long period of time, please use the default screen ratio of 16:9 or 21:9 depending upon the product.

• Avoid displaying a fixed image on the TV

screen for a long period of time (2 or more hours for LCD, 1 or more hours for the Plasma TV) to prevent image burn.
