ONE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY

For Flat-Panel LCDs

Congratulations on your purchase of a Planar video product and welcome to the Planar family! With proper installation, setup and care, you should enjoy many years of unparalleled video performance.

This is a LIMITED WARRANTY as defined in the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. Please read it carefully and retain it with your other important documents.

WHAT IS COVERED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY:

SERVICE LABOR: Planar will pay for service labor by Planar Authorized Service Center when needed as a result of a manufacturing defect for a period of one (1) year from the effective date of delivery to the end user.

PARTS: Planar will provide new or rebuilt replacement parts for the parts that fail due to defects in materials or workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the effective date of delivery to the end user. Such replacement parts are then subsequently warranted for the remaining portion (if any) of the original warranty period.

WHAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY:

Image retention on LCD display panels is specifically excluded from coverage under this Limited Warranty. Image retention or staining of an image is the result of misuse of the product and therefore cannot be repaired under the terms of this Limited Warranty.

Normal viewing material such as television/satellite broadcasts, videotape or DVDs (not put into pause for extended periods of time) will not cause damage to your display under normal conditions. Many DVD players are also equipped with screen savers for this reason.

TO AVOID IMAGE RETENTION (Burn-in): Please ensure that still images are not left on your LCD display panel. Also ensure that images displayed in the 4:3 aspect ratio mode (black or gray stripes, but no picture information is present on the left and right edges of the screen) are used as infrequently as possible. This will prevent permanent retention on your LCD display panel, which can be seen permanently under certain conditions once burn-in has occurred.

The types of images to avoid include video games, still images and computer screens with stationary tool bars and icons. (This is why computers are equipped with screen savers – to prevent still images from burning into the monitor’s phosphors after being displayed continuously for an extended period of time).

This Limited Warranty only covers failure due to defects in materials and workmanship that occur during normal use and does not cover normal maintenance. This Limited Warranty does not cover cabinets or any appearance items; failure resulting from accident, misuse, abuse, neglect, mishandling, misapplication, faulty or improper installation or setup adjustments; improper maintenance, alteration, improper use of any input signal; damage due to lightning or power line surges, spikes and brownouts; damage that occurs during shipping or transit; or damage that is attributed to acts of God. In the case of remote control units, damage resulting from leaking, old, damaged or improper batteries is also excluded from coverage under this Limited Warranty.

CAUTION: THIS LIMITED WARRANTY ONLY COVERS PLANAR PRODUCTS PURCHASED FROM PLANAR AUTHORIZED DEALERS. ALL OTHER PRODUCTS ARE SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED FROM COVERAGE UNDER THIS WARRANTY. MOREOVER, DAMAGE RESULTING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY FROM IMPROPER INSTALLATION OR SETUP IS SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED FROM COVERAGE UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT INSTALLATION AND SETUP WORK BE PERFORMED ONLY BY AN AUTHORIZED PLANAR DEALER TO PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THIS WARRANTY. THIS WILL ALSO ENSURE THAT YOU ENJOY THE FINE PERFORMANCE OF WHICH YOUR PLANAR PRODUCT IS CAPABLE WHEN INSTALLED AND CALIBRATED BY PLANAR AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL.

RIGHTS, LIMITS AND EXCLUSIONS:

Planar limits its obligations under any implied warranties under state laws to a period not to exceed the warranty period. There are no express warranties. Planar also excludes any obligation on its part for incidental or consequential damages related to the failure of this product to function properly. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, and some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages. So the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary from state to state.

EFFECTIVE WARRANTY DATE:

This warranty begins on the effective date of delivery to the end user. For your convenience, keep the original bill of sale as evidence of the purchase date.

IMPORTANT – WARRANTY REGISTRATION:

Please fill out and mail your warranty registration card. It is imperative that Planar knows how to reach you promptly if we should discover a safety problem or product update for which you must be notified.

CONTACT A PLANAR AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER TO OBTAIN SERVICE:

Repairs made under the terms of this Limited Warranty covering your Planar video product will be performed at the location of the product, during usual working hours, providing location of product is within normal operating distance from a Planar Authorized Service Center. In some instances it may be necessary for the product to be returned to the Planar factory for repairs. If, solely in Planar’s judgment, location of product to be repaired is beyond normal operating distance of the closest Planar Authorized Service Center, or the repair requires the unit be returned to the Planar factory, it is the owner’s responsibility to arrange for shipment of the product for repair. These arrangements must be made through the selling Planar Dealer. If this is not possible, contact Planar directly for a Return Authorization number and shipping instructions. Planar will return product transportation prepaid in the United States, unless no product defect is discovered. In that instance, shipping costs will be the responsibility of the owner.
