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 full-motion video. The images displayed on them should primarily be in the wide screen 16:9 ratio format, or expanded to

ll 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.

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.

●

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 center 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.

1. Lift the cover at the back of the remote control upward as shown in the gure.

Install two AAA size batteries.

Make sure to match the ‘+’ and ‘–’ ends of the batteries with the diagram inside the

compartment.

Replace the cover.

Remove the batteries and store them in a cool, dry place if you won’t be using the

remote control for a long time. (Assuming typical TV usage, the batteries should last for about one year.)

If the remote control doesn’t work, check the following:

Is the TV power on?

●

Are the plus and minus ends of the batteries reversed?

●

Are the batteries drained?

●

Is there a power outage or is the power cord unplugged?

● Is there a special uorescent light or neon sign nearby?

The actual screens on your PC will probably be different, depending upon your particular version of Windows and your particular video card. However, even if your actual screens look different, the same basic set-up information will apply in almost all cases. (If not, contact your computer manufacturer or Samsung Dealer.)

First, click on ‘Control Panel’ in the Windows start menu.

When the control panel window appears, click on ‘Appearance and Themes’ and a display dialog-box will appear.

When the control panel window appears, click on ‘Display’ and a display dialog-box will appear.

Navigate to the ‘Settings’ tab on the display dialog-box. The correct size setting (resolution): Optimum: 1920 X 1080 pixels If a vertical frequency option exists on your display settings dialog box, the correct value is 60 or 60 Hz. Otherwise, just click

OK and exit the dialog box.

Display Modes

If the signal from the system equals the standard signal mode, the screen is adjusted automatically. If the signal from the system doesn’t equal the standard signal mode, adjust the mode by referring to your videocard user guide; otherwise there may be no video. For the display modes listed below, the screen image has been optimized during manufacturing.
