IMPORTANT WARRANTY INFORMATION REGARDING
TELEVISION FORMAT VIEWING

Standard screen format televisions with aspect ratios of 4:3 (the
ratio of the screen width to screen height) are primarily designed
to display standard format full-motion video.

The images displayed on them should primarily be in the standard 4:3
ratio format and be constantly moving. Displaying stationary graphics
and images on-screen, such as the dark top and bottom letterbox
bars (wide screen pictures), should be limited to no more than 15% of
the total television viewing per week.

Wide screen format televisions with aspect ratios of 16:9 (the
ratio of the screen width to screen height) are primarily designed
to display 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 constantly moving. Displaying stationary graphics
and images on screen, such as the dark side-bars on non-expanded
standard format television video and programming, should be limited
to no more than 15% of the total television viewing per week.

Additionally, viewing other stationary images and text such as stock
market crawls, video game displays, station logos, web sites or
computer graphics and patterns, should be limited as described
above for all televisions. Displaying any stationary images that exceed
the above guidelines can cause uneven aging of LED Display Panels
that leave subtle, but permanent burned-in ghost images in the
television picture. To avoid this, vary the programming and images,
and primarily display full screen moving images, not stationary
patterns or dark bars. On television models that offer picture sizing
features, use these controls to view the different formats as a full
screen picture.

Be careful in the selection and duration of television formats
used for viewing. Uneven aging as a result of format selection
and use, as well as other burned-in images, is not covered by
your Samsung limited warranty.
