5.6 Screen Burning
When the same image is reproduced for a long period (still image, telop, etc.), the image is burned into to screen. It may
be difficult to remove this image. Burning should be managed by making necessary changes in the video software,
projection method, system configuration etc.
This display has a function that reduces this kind of burning.
