Recommendation to Avoid or Minimize Phosphor Burn-in
Like all phosphor-based display devices and all TFT LCD Displays, LCD TV' s can be susceptible to
phosphor burn under certain circumstances. Certain operating conditions, such as the continuous
display of a static image over a prolonged period of time, can result in phosphor burn if proper
precautions are not taken. To protect your investment in this LCD TV, please adhere to the following
guidelines and recommendations for minimizing the occurrence of image burn.
1.Always enable and use your computer's screen-saver function during use with a computer input
source.
2.Display a moving image whenever possible.
3.Change the position of the menu display from time to time.
4.Always power down the LCD TV when you are finished using it.
5.Lower the brightness and contrast levels as much as possible without impairing image readability.
6.Display an image with many colour and colour gradations (i.e. photographic or photorealistic
images).
7.Create image content with minimal contrast between light and dark areas, for example white
characters on black backgrounds. Use complementary or pastel colors whenever possible.
8.Avoid displaying images with few colors and distinct, sharply defined borders between colors.
