WARNING Concerning Stationary Images on the TV
Screen:
Do not leave stationary or letterbox images on screen
for extended periods of time. This can cause uneven
picture-tube aging.
Normal use of the TV should involve the showing of pictures
that contain constantly moving and changing images that fill the
screen, Be careful not to leave nonmoving images on screen for
extended periods of time, or to display the same images on
screen too frequently, because subtle ghost images can be left
on the picture tubes. Sources of stalionary images may be DVD
disks, laser disks, video games, CD-i disks, videotapes, digital
television boxes, broadcast channels, cable channels, salellite
channels, and others. Here are some examples of stationary
images (this is not an all-inclusive list; you may encounter
others in your viewing):

TV screen when a wide screen (16:9) movie is viewed on a
TV with standard (4:3) aspect ratio.

bright and stationary; moving or low-contrast graphics are
less likely to cause uneven aging of the picture tube

screen

and shown constantly or repeatedly in the same location on
