Important Warranty Information
Regarding Monitor Format Viewing
Wide screen format PDP 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 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 logos, 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 PDP Displays that leave subtle, but permanent burned-in
ghost images in the PDP picture. To avoid this, vary the programming and images,
and primarily display full screen moving images, not stationary patterns or dark
bars.
On PDP 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 monitor formats used for viewing. Uneven PDP aging as a
result of format selection and use, as well as burned-in images, are not covered by your Samsung
limited warranty.

User Instructions
Screen Image retention
Do not display a still image (such as on a video game or when hooking up a PC to this PDP
Monitor) on the plasma monitor panel for more than 2 hours as it can cause screen image retention.
This image retention is also known as “screen burn”. To avoid such image retention, reduce the
degree of brightness and contrast of the screen when displaying a still image.
Height
The PDP Monitor can only operate normally at heights under 6500ft.
Heat on the top of the PDP Monitor
The top side of the product may be hot after long periods of use as heat dissipates from the panel
through the vent hole in the upper part of the product.
This is normal and does not indicate any defect or operation failure of the product.
However, children should be prevented from touching the upper part of the product.
The product is making a ‘cracking’ noise.
A ‘cracking’ noise may occur when the product contracts or expands due to a change of
surrounding environment such as temperature or humidity. This is normal and not a defect of the
unit.
Cell Defects
The PDP Monitor uses a panel consisting of 1,230,000(SD-level) to 3,150,000(HD-level) pixels
which require sophisticated technology to produce. However, there may be a few bright or dark
pixels on the screen. These pixels will have no impact on the performance of the product.
Avoid operating the PDP Monitor at temperatures below 5°C (41°F)
A still image displayed too long may cause permanent damage to the PDP Monitor Panel
Watching the PDP Monitor in 4:3 format for a long period of time may leave
traces of borders displayed on the left, right and center of the screen caused
by the difference of light emission on the screen.
Playing a DVD or a game console may cause similar effect to the screen.
Damage caused by the above effect are not covered by the Warranty.
Afterimage on the Screen.
Displaying still images from Video games and PC for longer than a certain period of time may
produce partial after-images.
To prevent this effect, reduce the ‘brightness’ and ‘contrast’ when displaying still images for a
long time.
Warranty
-Warranty does not cover any damage caused by image retention.
-Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.

Be certain to remove the black cover from the optical output before inserting the cable.
If your system has both coaxial and optical digital audio inputs, SAMSUNG recommends
you use the optical digital output on the PDP Monitor.
