Notes
● If the TV feels cold to the touch, there may be a small “flicker” when turned on.
This is normal, there is nothing wrong with TV.
● Some dot defects may appear on the screen, like red, green or blue spots. However, this will
have no adverse effect on the monitor's performance.
● Avoid touching the LCD screen or holding your finger(s) against it for long periods of time.
Doing so may produce some temporary distortion effects on the screen.
