Precautions to Protect the Screen from Damage

Image retention

OLED TV‘s are suscep tible to im age retention (burn-in) due to the characteristics of the m aterials used. Image retention may occur if images are displayed in the same location on the screen repeatedly or over extended peri ods of time. This is not a malfunction of the TV. Avoid displaying images that may ca use image retention.

• Video game s that might have static content i n some part of the s

creen.

• On-screen menu s, programme guides, channel logos etc.
