Questions

Answers

Why is there a black box on

the screen?

Change settings of Closed caption (CC).

Why do some small spots

on the screen remain bright

or dark?

The panel is made up of a few million pixels and is

produced with advanced technology through an

intricate process. Sometimes a few pixels may be

bright or dark. These pixels do not indicate a defective

panel and will have no impact on the performance of

the TV.

Why is the picture

brightness changing?
