Important Warranty Information Regarding Television Format Viewing

See the warranty card for more information on warranty terms.

✎

Wide screen format LCD Displays (16:9, the aspect ratio of the screen width to height) are primarily designed to view wide screen format full­motion 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 sidebars 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 LCD Displays that leave subtle, but permanent burned-in ghost images in the LCD picture. To avoid this, vary the
programming and images, and primarily display full screen moving images, not stationary patterns or dark bars. On LCD 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 television formats used for viewing. Uneven LCD aging as a result of format selection and use, as well as
burned-in images, are not covered by your Samsung limited warranty.

Still image warning

Avoid displaying still images (like jpeg picture files) or still image element (like TV Program 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 do 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

Keep the required distances between the product and other objects (e.g. walls) to ensure proper ventilation.
Failing to do so may result in fire or a problem with the product due to an increase in the internal temperature of the product.

When using a stand or wall-mount, use parts provided by Samsung Electronics only.

✎

If you use parts provided by another manufacturer, it may result in a problem with the product or an injury due to the product falling.

The appearance may differ depending on the product.
