Important User Guidance Information
01
CAUTION
Panel sticking and after-image lag
• Displaying the same images such as still images for a long
time may cause after-image lagging. This may occur in the
following two cases.
1
After-image lagging due to remaining electrical load
When image patterns with very high peak luminance are
displayed for more than 1 minute, after-image lagging may
occur due to the remaining electric load. The after-images
remaining on the screen will disappear when moving images
are displayed. The time for the after-images to disappear
depends on the luminance of the still images and the time they
had been displayed.
2
After-image (lag image) due to burning
Avoid displaying the same image on the Plasma Display
continuously over a long period of time.
This includes those images displayed in the following screen
modes: multiscreen function, screen size 4:3, screen size FULL
14:9, screen size CINEMA 14:9, screen size Dot by Dot (except
when the input size is 1920x1080), and images with black
bands at top/bottom or right/left.
If the same image is displayed continuously for several hours,
or for shorter periods of time over several days, a permanent
after-image may remain on the screen due to burning of the
fluorescent materials. Such images may become less
noticeable if moving images are later displayed, but they will
not disappear completely.
• The energy save function can be set to help prevent damage
from screen burning (see page 29).
