VIDEOGAMESAND OTHERFIXED-PATTERNDISPLAYS
If you use your Entertainment Machine to play video games or for other uses that have single,
fixed images, such as a photo-CD player, you should avoid setting the Brightness Level too high.
If static images, Like network identification patterns, are Left sitting for too Long, they can Leave
a permanent impression on the picture tube. You can reduce the chance of this happening by
Limiting the amount of time you use the fixed-image display, and by reducing the contrast and
brightness LeveLsor by setting your video preset to Video game setting.
