Notes

- If the TV feels cold to the touch, there may be a small “flicker” when it is turned on. This is normal, there is nothing

wrong with the TV.

- Some minute dot defects may be visible on the screen, appearing as tiny red, green, or blue spots. However, they have no

adverse effect on the TVs performance.

- Avoid touching the LCD screen or holding your finger(s) against it for long periods of time. Doing so may produce some

temporary distortion effects on the screen.
