Stationary Images

A characteristic of LCD and Plasma Panels
is that displaying the same image for a long
time can cause a permanent after-image to
remain on the screen. This is called phos-
phor burn in. Normal use of the TV should
involve the showing of pictures that contain
constantly moving and changing images that
fill the screen. The following list gives some
examples of stationary images that you may
encounter others in your viewing:
• TV and DVD menus: listings of DVD
disk content.
• Black bars: when black bars appear at
the left and right side of the screen, it is
recommended to change to a picture
format so that the picture fills the entire
screen.
• TV channel logos: logos present a prob-
lem if they are bright and stationary.
Moving or low-contrast graphics are
less likely to cause uneven aging of the
screen.
• Stock market stickers: presented at the
bottom of the TV screen.
EN-2
• Shopping channel logos and pricing
displays: bright and shown constantly or
repeatedly in the same location on the
TV screen.
• Examples of still pictures also include
logos, computer images, time display,
teletext and images displayed in 4:3
mode, static images or characters, etc.
TIP: Reduce contrast and brightness when
viewing.
