Do not display any still part of the image for a long period

In such cases the still part of the image remains dimly on the plasma screen (“image retention”). This is not considered a malfunction and is not covered by the warranty.

Typical still image parts:

●

Channel number, channel logo and other logos

●

Still or moving pictures viewed in 4:3 or 14:9 aspect ratio

●

Video games

●

Images from PC To avoid image retention, the contrast is lowered automatically and the screen becomes dim after a few minutes if no signals are sent or no operations are performed. (p. 107)
