Image Retention (Burn In) Issue.
•
To minimize the possibility of screen burn, this unit is equipped with Pixel Shift screen burn
reduction technology. Pixel Shift lets you set the picture so it moves slightly up and down
(Vertical Line) and side to side (Horizontal Dot). The regular, slight movement of the picture
reduces screen burn in.
