Precautions When Displaying a Still Image

❑

A still image may cause permanent damage to the TV screen

Do not display still image and partially still on the LCD 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.

●

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.

Watching the LCD TV in 4:3 format for a long period of time may leave traces of borders displayed on the left, right and centre of the screen caused by the difference of light emission on the screen. Playing a DVD or a game console may cause a similar effect to the screen. Damages caused by the above effect are not covered by the Warranty.
