Do not display still images and partially
still images on the LED panel for more
than 2 hours as it can cause screen
image retention. This image retention is
also known as “screen burn”. To avoid
such image retention, reduce the
degree of brightness and contrast of the
screen when displaying a still image.
Watching the LED TV in 4:3 format for a
long period of time may leave traces of
borders displayed on the left, right and
centre of the screen caused by the
difference of light emission on the
screen. Playing a DVD or a game
console may cause a similar effect to
the screen. Damages caused by the
above effect are not covered by the
Warranty. Displaying still images from
Video games and PC for longer than a
certain period of time may produce
partial after-images. To prevent this
effect, reduce the ‘brightness’ and
‘contrast’ when displaying still images.
