Important Warranty Information Regarding Television Format
Viewing
Standard screen format televisions (4:3, the aspect ratio of the screen width to height) are primarily designed to view standard
format full-motion video. The images displayed on them should primarily be in the standard 4:3 ratio format and constantly moving.
Displaying stationary graphics and images on screen, such as the dark top and bottom letterbox bars (wide screen pictures), should be
limited to no more than 15% of the total television viewing per week.
Wide screen format televisions (16:9, the aspect ratio of the screen width to height) are primarily designed to view wide screen format
full-motion video. The images displayed on them should primarily be in the wide screen 16:9 ratio format, or expanded to fill the
screen if your model offers this feature, and constantly moving. Displaying stationary graphics and images on screen, such as the dark
side-bars on non-expanded standard format television video and programming, should be limited to no more than 15% of the total
television viewing per week.
Additionally, viewing other stationary images and text such as stock market reports, video game displays, station logos, web sites or
computer graphics and patterns, should be limited as described above for all televisions. Displaying any stationary images that exceed
the above guidelines can cause uneven aging of picture tubes (CRTs) that leave subtle, but permanent burned-in ghost images in the
television picture. To avoid this, vary the programming and images, and primarily display full screen moving images, not stationary
patterns or dark bars. On television models that offer picture sizing features, use these controls to view the different formats as a full
screen picture.
Be careful in the selection and duration of television formats used for viewing. Uneven CRT aging as a result of format selection and
use, as well as other burned-in images, is not covered by your Samsung limited warranty.
