Precautions When Displaying a Still Image

A still image may cause permanent damage to the TV screen.
• Do not display a still image 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.
• 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 center of 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.
Precauciones al mostrar en la pantalla una imagen fija
La imagen fija puede causar daños permanentes en la pantalla del televisor.
• No deje una imagen fija en la pantalla LCD durante más de dos horas ya que se podría producir una retención de la imagen en la pantalla. Este fenómeno de retención de imágenes también se denomina "quemadura de pantalla". Para evitar que se produzca esa persistencia de la imagen, reduzca el nivel de luminosidad y de contraste de la pantalla cuando muestre imágenes fijas.
• El uso del televisor LCD en formato 4:3 durante un tiempo prolongado puede dejar rastros de bordes en las partes izquierda,
• Ver imágenes fijas de videojuegos y PC durante más tiempo del indicado puede producir restos de imágenes parciales.
Para evitar este efecto, reduzca el 'brillo' y el 'contraste' cuando vea imágenes fijas.
Precauções ao exibir uma imagem estática
Uma imagem estática pode causar dano permanente em uma tela de TV.
• Não exiba uma imagem estática no painel LCD por mais de 2 horas, pois isso poderá causar retenção de imagem na tela. Essa retenção de imagem também é conhecida como "queima da tela". Para evitar essa retenção de imagem, reduza o grau de brilho e de contraste da tela ao exibir uma imagem estática.
• O fato de assistir a TV LCD no formato 4:3 por um longo período de tempo pode deixar traços de bordas exibidos nas partes esquerda,
• A exibição de imagens estáticas de Video games e PC por mais tempo que um determinado período pode produzir pós-imagens parciais.
Para evitar esse efeito, reduza o ‘brilho’ e o ‘contraste’ ao exibir imagens estáticas.
