Product design and specifications may be changed without notice.

See the warranty card for more information on warranty terms.

Wide screen format LCD/LED Displays (16:9, the aspect ratio of the screen width to height) are primarily designed to view wide screen format full-

motion video. The images displayed on them should primarily be in the wide screen 16:9 ratio format, or expanded to fill the screen ifyour model

offers this feature and the images areconstantly moving. Displaying stationary graphics and images on screen, such as the dark sidebars on

nonexpanded standard format television video and programming, should be limited to no more than 5% of the total television viewing per week.

Additionally, viewing other stationary images and text such as stock market reports, video game displays, station Iogos, web sites or computer graphics and patterns, should be limited as described above for all televisions. Displaying stationary images that exceed the above guidelines can

cause uneven aging of LCD/LED Displays that leave subtle, but permanent burnedqn ghost images in the LCD/LED picture. Toavoid this, vary the

programming and images, and primarily display full screen moving images, not stationary patterns or dark bars. On LCD/LED models that offer picture sizing features, use these controls to view different formats as a full screen picture.

Be careful in the selection and duration of television formats used for viewing. Uneven LCD/LED aging as a result of format selection and use, as

well as burnedqn images, are not covered by your Samsung limited warranty.
