Important Warranty Information Regarding Television Format Viewing

See the warranty card for more information on warranty terms.

✎

Wide screen format LED 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 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 non- expanded 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 LED Displays that leave subtle, but permanent burned-in ghost images in the LED picture. To avoid this, vary the programming and images, and primarily display full screen moving images, not stationary patterns or dark bars. On LED 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 you use for viewing. Uneven LED 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 (such as jpeg picture ﬁles), still image elements (such as TV channel logos, stock or news bars at the screen bottom etc.), or programs in panorama or 4:3 image format on the screen. Constantly displaying still pictures can cause image burn-in on the LED screen, which will affect image quality. To reduce risk of this effect, please follow the recommendations below:

• Avoid displaying the same TV channel for long periods.

• Always try to display any image in full screen. Use the TV set’s picture format menu for the best possible match.

• Reduce brightness and contrast values to the minimum required to achieve the desired picture quality. Exceeding the minimum required values may speed up the burn-in process.

• Frequently use all TV features designed to reduce image retention and screen burn-in. Refer to appropriate e-Manual sections for details.

Securing the Installation Space

Keep the required distances between the TV, the wall, and other objects to ensure proper ventilation. Failing to do so may result in a ﬁre or a problem with the TV caused by an increase in its internal temperature.

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.

Installing the Wall Mount

Wall or Ceiling Mounting

The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer. Unless it is correctly mounted, the product may slide or fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the product.

Preparing before installing Wall-Mount

To install a wall-mount from another manufacturer, use the Holder-Ring.

Installing the Wall Mount Kit

The wall mount kit (sold separately) allows you to mount the TV on the wall. For detailed information on installing the wall mount, see the instructions provided with the wall mount items. Contact a

technician for assistance when installing the wall mount bracket. Samsung Electronics is not responsible for any damage to the product or injury to yourself or others if you elect to install the wall mount on your own.

Wall Mount Kit Speciﬁcations (VESA)

Install your wall mount on a solid wall perpendicular to the ﬂoor. Before attaching the wall mount to building materials other than plaster board, please contact your nearest dealer for additional information. If you install the TV on a ceiling or slanted wall, it may fall and result in severe personal injury.

✎

NOTE

Standard dimensions for wall mount kits are shown in the table below.

Samsung wall mount kits contain a detailed installation manual and all parts necessary for assembly.

Do not use screws that do not comply with the VESA standard screw specifications.

Do not use screws that are longer than the standard length or do not comply with the VESA standard screw

specifications. Screws that are too long may cause damage to the inside of the TV set. For wall mounts that do not comply with the VESA standard screw specifications, the length of the screws may differ

depending on the wall mount specifications. Do not fasten the screws too firmly. This may damage the product or cause the product to fall, leading to personal

injury. Samsung is not liable for these kinds of accidents. Samsung is not liable for product damage or personal injury when a non-VESA or non-specified wall mount is used or

the consumer fails to follow the product installation instructions. Do not mount the TV at more than a 15 degree tilt.

Always have two people mount the TV on a wall.
