Avoiding image burn-in
■
Displaying the same stationary images over an extended period of time,
such as a black bar, stock ticker, video game, or a shopping channel logo,
can leave a permanent ghost image (burn-in). Avoid burn-in by mixing
your viewing patterns. Do not show the same stationary image for more
than 15% of your total viewing time in any one week.
■
Your warranty does
NOT
cover screen burn-in.
