Do not display any still part of the image for
a long period
In such cases the still part of the image remains dimly on the
plasma screen (“image retention”). This is not considered a
malfunction and is not covered by the warranty.
Typical still image parts:
●
Channel number, channel logo and other logos
●
Still or moving pictures viewed in 4:3 or 14:9 aspect ratio
●
Video games
●
Images from PC
To avoid image retention, the contrast is lowered
automatically and the screen becomes dim after a few
minutes if no signals are sent or no operations are
performed. (p. 80)
