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 omscreen, 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 nomexpanded

Additionally, viewing other stationary images and text such as stock
market crawls, video game displays, station Iogos, web sites or

the above guidelines can cause uneven aging of LED Display Panels
that leave subtle, but permanent burnedqn ghost images inthe

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 asa full

screen picture.
Be careful in the selection and duration of television formats

and use, as well as other burned-in images, is not covered by
