Topple prevention
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.
• On-screen menus, programme guides, channel logos etc.
• Static content from applications.
• On-screen tickers, such as those used for news and headlines.
To reduce the risk of image retention:
• Sony recommends that you turn off the TV normally by pressing
the power button on the remote control or the TV.
• Fill the screen by changing [Wide mode] to eliminate the black
bars. Select [Wide mode] other than [Normal].
• Turn off the OSD (On Screen Display) by pressing
(Control
menu) button and select [Info], and turn off the menus from
connected equipment.
• Avoid displaying static images with bright colours (including
white), clocks or logos on any portion of the screen.
• Set the picture settings based on the ambient conditions. The
Standard Picture is recommended for home use and when
viewing content that often displays the station logos, etc.
The TV has following features to help reduce/prevent image
retention.
Panel refresh
A panel refresh will adjust the panel uniformity. Panel refresh can
be performed and should only be used when image retention is
very noticeable.
Caution:
• The Panel refresh function may affect the panel. Do not perform
Panel refresh more than once a year as it may affect the usable
life of the panel.
• Panel refresh takes about ten minutes to complete.
• The effectiveness of a panel refresh may vary depending on the
image retention condition.
Pixel shift
Automatically moves the image on the screen to prevent image
retention.
Other feature
The screen brightness is automatically reduced when displaying
still images, clocks, bright colours or logos etc.
Using TV as Part of Audio
System
