LCD SCREEN

Although the LCD screen is made with high-precision technology and has effective pixels of 99.99% or more, black dots or bright points of light (red, blue, or green) may appear constantly on the LCD screen. This is a structural property of the LCD panel and is not a malfunction.

The LCD screen is made with high precision technology and to achieve a high level of performance and picture quality, this TV’s backlight setting is set to maximize the brightness of the TV. However, uneven brightness may be observed when the LCD TV is viewed in a dark ambient without an input source or with a blank screen. This condition is normal and not a malfunction of the TV. Changing the Picture mode, Backlight setting, enabling the Light Sensor (if applicable), or turning on the Power Management will improve this condition.

To avoid damaging the LCD panel, do not expose the LCD screen to direct sunlight.

Do not push or scratch the LCD screen, or

place objects on top of the TV. The images may be uneven or the LCD panel may be

6US damaged.

If the TV is used in a cold place, the picture may smear or become dark. This does not indicate a failure. These phenomena improve as the temperature rises.

Ghosting may occur when still pictures are displayed continuously. It should disappear after a few moments.

The LCD screen and enclosure get warm when the TV is in use. This is not a malfunction.

Avoid spraying insect repellent with volatile material on the LCD screen.

Avoid prolonged contact with rubber or plastic material to the LCD screen.

Broken screen panel

Do not throw anything at the LCD screen and its edges as the impact can cause the LCD screen

glass to crack, break or shatter.If damage occurs to the LCD

panel, small traces of liquid crystal sandwiched between the glass may be found on scattered broken glass.

Do not touch the broken glass with bare hands. As with any broken glass pieces, avoid skin contact and exposure to your eyes or mouth. Avoid direct contact with liquid or damp surfaces of the glass as these may have an adverse effect on some people. The contacted area should be rinsed thoroughly with water. If conditions persist, see your doctor.

If the surface of the TV cracks, do not touch the TV until you have unplugged the AC power cord. Otherwise electric shock may result.
