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 screen. This is a

structural property of the LCD screen and is not a malfunction.

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

be damaged.

s If this TV set is used in a cold place, a smear may occur in the

picture or the picture may become dark. This does not indicate

a failure. These phenomena disappear as the temperature rises.
