any television set can cause a shadow on the screen.
This type of LCD panel phenomenon, can be limited by observing the following points:
• Reduce the brightness and contrast levels to a minimum viewing level.
• Do not operate the television set for a continuous period of
time while using TV games or home computers.

• Do not allow a still picture to be displayed for an extended pe-
riod, as this can cause a permanent after-image to remain on
the LCD TV screen.
• Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images, teletext and images displayed in 4:3 mode.
