IMAGE STICKING MINIMIZATION (ISM) METHOD

PICTURE CONTROL

A frozen still picture from a PC/video game displayed on the screen for prolonged periods can result in a ghost
image. You can use Orbiter to help prevent image sticking. The other two functions are for removing a ghost
image.

G

An excessive ghosted image may be impossible to
clear entirely with White Wash. To return to nor­mal viewing, press the any button.

NOTE

!

■

Normal

: If image sticking is never a
problem, ISM is not necessary - set to
Normal.

■

Or b it e r

: Orbiter may help prevent
ghost images. However, it is best not to
allow any fixed image to remain on the
screen. To avoid a ghost image on the
screen, the image will move every 2 min­utes.

■

Inversion

: Inversion will automatically
invert the plasma display panel color
every 30 minutes.

■

Whit e WWash

: White Wash removes
ghost images from the screen. Use spar­ingly. Watch the TV normally for a while
before using this feature to see if the
ghost image disappears on its own.
