Precautions to Protect the Screen from
Damage
Image retention
OLED TV’s are susceptible to image retention (burn-in) due
to the characteristics of the materials used. Image retention
may occur if images are displayed in the same location on
the screen repeatedly or over extended periods of time.
This is not a malfunction of the TV. Avoid displaying images
that may cause image retention.
The following are examples of images that
may cause image retention:
• Content with black bars either on the top and bottom
and/or the left and right sides of the screen. (for example,
Letterboxed, 4:3 screen, Standard definition)
• Static images such as photos.
• Video games that might have static content in some part
of the screen.
• On-screen menus, program guides, channel logos etc.
• Static content from applications.
• On-screen tickers, such as those used for news and
headlines.
To reduce the risk of image retention:
• Sony recommends that you turn off the TV normally by
pressing the power button on the remote control or the
TV.
• Fill the screen by changing [Wide mode] to eliminate the
black bars. Select [Wide mode] other than [Normal].
• Turn off the OSD (On Screen Display) by pressing the
DISPLAY
button, and turn off the menus from connected
equipment. For details, refer to the instruction manuals
for the connected equipment.
• Avoid displaying static images with bright colors
(including white), clocks or logos on any portion of the
screen.
• Set the picture settings based on the ambient conditions.
The Standard Picture is recommended for home use and
when viewing content that often displays the station
logos, etc.
The TV has following features to help reduce/prevent
image retention.
Panel refresh
A panel refresh will adjust the panel uniformity. Panel
refresh can be performed and should only be used when
image retention is very noticeable.
Caution:
• The Panel refresh function may affect the panel. Do not
perform Panel refresh more than once a year as it may
affect the usable life of the panel.
• Panel refresh takes about one hour to complete.
• A white line may be displayed on the screen during the
Panel refresh, this is not a malfunction of the TV.
• Panel refresh will only work when the room temperature
is between 50 ºF and 104 ºF (10 ºC and 40 ºC).
Pixel shift
Automatically moves the image on the screen to prevent
image retention.
Other feature
The screen brightness is automatically reduced when
displaying still images, clocks, bright colors or logos etc.
Remote Control and TV
The remote control shape, location,
availability and function of remote
control buttons may vary depending on
your region/country/TV model.
