Important Warranty Information Regarding Television Format Viewing

✎

See the warranty card for more information on warranty terms.

Wide screen format LCD Displays (16:9, the aspect ratio of the screen width to height) are primarily designed to view wide screen format full-motion video.

The images displayed on them should primarily be in the wide screen 16:9 ratio format, or expanded to fill the screen if your model offers this feature and

the images are constantly moving. Displaying stationary graphics and images on screen, such as the dark sidebars on no expanded standard format

television video and programming, should be limited to no more than 5% of the total television viewing per week.

Additionally, viewing other stationary images and text such as stock market reports, video game displays, station logos, web sites or computer graphics

and patterns, should be limited as described above for all televisions. Displaying stationary images that exceed the above guidelines can cause uneven

aging of LCD Displays that leave subtle, but permanent burned-in ghost images in the LCD picture. To avoid this, vary the programming and images, and

primarily display full screen moving images, not stationary patterns or dark bars. On LCD models that offer picture sizing features, use these controls to

view different formats as a full screen picture.

Be careful in the selection and duration of television formats used for viewing. Uneven LCD aging as a result of format selection and use, as well as burned

in images, are not covered by your Samsung limited warranty.

Avoid displaying still images (such as jpeg picture files) or still image elements (such as TV channel logos, panorama or 4:3 image format, stock or news

bars at screen bottom etc.) on the screen. Constant displaying of a still picture can cause ghosting of the LCD screen, which will affect image quality. To

reduce risk of this effect, please follow the recommendations below:

•

Avoid displaying the same TV channel for long periods.

•

Always try to display a full screen image.

•

Reducing brightness and contrast will help to avoid the appearance of after-images.

•

Use all TV features designed to reduce image retention and screen burn, refer to e-Manual for details.

Keep the required distances between the product and other objects (e.g. walls) to ensure proper ventilation.

Failing to do so may result in fire or a problem with the product due to an increase in the internal temperature of the product.
