“The Plasma TV is a very high techology
product giving you fine picture details. Occa-
sionally, a few non-active pixels may remain
still on the screen. Long-time unmoving still
pictures may cause permanent shade effect
on the screen and even the picture has been
changed, its influence lasts as ghost pic-
ture. This ghost effect may disturb the user
even though it will diminish in the course of
time. To prevent this, don't leave still pictures
for example teletext pages or frozen pictures
on the screen for a long time. Please note
that this does not affect the performance of
your product.”
