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 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.

• 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.

Précautions à prendre lors de l’affichage d’une image fixe

Une image fixe peut causer des dommages irrémédiables à l’écran du téléviseur.

• N’affichez pas une image fixe sur l’écran LCD plus de 2 heures. Cela pourrait provoquer une rémanence de l’image à l’écran. Cette rémanence de l’image est également appelée “brûlure de l’écran”. Pour éviter une telle rémanence de l’image à l’écran, réduisez la luminosité et le contraste de l’écran lorsque vous laissez une image fixe affichée

• Regarder l’écran LCD du téléviseur en format 4:3 pendant une longue période peut laisser des traces de bordures à gauche, à droite et au centre de l’écran, à cause de la différence d’émission de lumière sur l’écran. La lecture d’un DVD ou l’utilisation d’une console de jeu peut avoir un effet similaire sur l’écran. Les dommages provoqués par les effets qui précèdent ne sont pas couverts par la garantie.

• L’affichage d’images fixes de jeux vidéo et d’ordinateurs pendant plus longtemps qu’une période spécifique peut provoquer des rémanences.Pour éviter cela, réduisez la “luminosité” et le “contraste” lors de l’affichage d’images fixes.
