Wide screen format PDPDisplays (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 if your model offers this feature and the
images are constantly moving. Displaying stationary graphics and images on screen, such as the dark

side-bars 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 cart

cause uneven aging of PDP Displays that leave subtle, but permanent burned=in
9hosf in, ages in the PDPpicfureo To avoid this, vary the programming and in_ages_

and primarily display fulls€teen ntoving intages, nof sfafionary pa#erns or dark barrio
Qn PDP models that offer picture sizing features,use these controls to view different formats as a fuji screen

picture.

Be careful in the selection and duration of television formats used for viewing. Uneven PDPaging as a

result of format selection and use,as well as burned-in images, are not covered by your Samsung limited
warranty.
