The TV has pixels that are
always dark or colored.

technology, however, sometimes some pixels of your LCD HDTV may not display.
Pixel defects within industry specifications are inherent to this type of product and do
not constitute a defective product.

the screen.

converting can cause noise or trash.

Tips for High-Definition Users.
The LCD HDTV is an ideal platform for viewing High Definition Content.
Best Image Quality will be achieved by the HDMI Input, then YPbPr, then RGB.
However, due to variances in broadcast practices, it is possible some image
distortions can occur.
Tips for Letterbox Content
Users.
Letterboxed (or “Widescreen”) versions of DVD movies are most commonly
formatted for standard 4:3 Televisions. The LCD HDTV has the capability of
expanding this content so the entire screen is filled at the expense of image
accuracy. To use this function, press the “ZOOM” key on the remote control and
cycle among the available options.
