2) OLED Screen
•Although the OLED screen is made with high-precision technology and
99.99% or more of the pixels are effective, black dots may appear or bright
points of light (white, red, blue, or green) may appear constantly on the
OLED screen. This is a structural property of the OLED screen and is not a
malfunction.
•Do not push or scratch the front filter, or place objects on top of this TV
set. The image may be uneven or the OLED screen may be damaged.
•The screen and cabinet get warm when this TV set is in use. This is not a
malfunction.
3) Precautions to Protect the Screen from Damage
Image retention
OLED TV’s are susceptible to image retention (burn-in) due to the
characteristics of the materials used. Image retention may occur if images
are displayed in the same location on the screen repeatedly or over
extended periods of time. This is not a malfunction of the TV. Avoid
displaying images that may cause image retention.
The following are examples of images that may cause image
retention:
•Content with black bars either on the top and bottom and/or the left and
right sides of the screen. (for example, Letterboxed, 4:3 screen, Standard
definition)
•Static images such as photos.
•Video games that might have static content in some part of the screen.
•On-screen menus, program guides, channel logos etc.
•Static content from applications.
•On-screen tickers, such as those used for news and headlines.
