Precautions When Displaying a Still Image
A still image may cause permanent damage to the TV screen.
Do not display a still image and partially still image on the LCD panel for more than 2 hours as it can cause screen
image retention. This image retention is also known as screen burn. To avoid such image retention, reduce the degree of
brightness and contrast of the screen when displaying a still image.
Watching the LCD TV in 4:3 format for a long period of time may leave traces of borders displayed on the
left, right and centre of the screen caused by the difference of light emission on the screen.
Playing a DVD or a game console may cause a similar effect to the screen.
Damages caused by the above effect are not covered by the Warranty.
Displaying still images from Video games and PC for longer than a certain period of time may produce partial after-images.
To prevent this effect, reduce the ‘brightness’ and ‘contrast’ when displaying still images.
WARNINGS:
■
Image retention, commonly known as screen burn-in, can occur on most types of television if the same image is displayed continuously.
The most common causes of image retention are logos that remain stationary on the TV screen. These logos are common on many
programmes received via a Set-top Box.
To reduce this risk, avoid displaying still images for long durations and lower the brightness or contrast settings to decrease the
intensity of the picture. Extended viewing of movies and programs in aspect ratios that are different from the aspect ratio of the TV may
cause image retention. Always endeavour to avoid black borders top or bottom by using the zoom function. This will help eliminate the
black borders and fit the picture to the entire area of the screen. Using a video game console may cause image retention and is not
recommended. When using a PC input, avoid displaying still images for long durations and reduce the brightness or contrast settings to
decrease the intensity of the picture.
IMPORTANT:
■
Image retention issues are not covered by your Samsung® warranty.
