Important Information Regarding Use of Video Games, Computers, Captions or Other
Fixed Image Displays
The extended use of fi xed image program material can cause a permanent “shadow image” on the LCD panel.
This background image is viewable on normal programmes in the form of a stationary fi xed image. This type of
irreversible LCD/LED panel deterioration can be limited by observing the following steps:
1. Reduce the brightness/contrast setting to a minimum accetable viewing level.
2. Do not display a fi xed image for extended periods of time.
3. Turn the power off when not in actual use.
Examples of images that you need to watch out for are as follows (this is not an exhaustive list):
•
TV Channel Logos: e.g. Shopping channel logos and pricing displays-especially if they are bright and stationary. Moving or
low-contrast graphics are less likely to cause ageing of the screen.
•
Time Displays
•
Teletext: Do not view a stationary page for a long period of time
•
TV/DVD Menus: e.g. Listings of DVD disk content
•
Pause Mode: Do not leave the TV in pause mode for long periods of time, e.g. When watching DVDs or videos.
Important: Once a ‘shadow image/screen burn’ occurs, it will never disappear and is not repairable under
warranty.
