technology and 99.99% or more of the pixels are
effective, black dots may appear or bright points of light
(red, blue, or green) may appear constantly on the LCD

top of this TV set. The image may be uneven or the LCD
screen may be damaged.

in the picture or the picture may become dark. This does
not indicate a failure. These phenomena disappear as the
temperature rises.
• Ghosting may occur when still pictures are displayed
continuously. It may disappear after a few moments.
• The screen and cabinet get warm when this TV set is in
use. This is not a malfunction.
