Still image warning
Avoid displaying still images (like jpeg picture files) or still image element (like TV programme logo, panorama or 4:3 image format, stock or news bar
at screen bottom etc.) on the screen. Constant displaying of still picture can cause uneven wear of screen phosphor, which will affect image quality. To
reduce risk of this effect, please follow below recommendations:
Avoid displaying the same TV channel for long periods.•
Always try to display any image on full screen, use TV set picture format menu for best possible match.•
Reduce brightness and contrast values to minimum required to achieve desired picture quality, exceeded values may speed up the burnout process.•
Frequently use all TV features designed to reduce image retention and screen burnout, refer to proper user manual section for details.•
Securing the Installation Space
