Important Warranty Information Regarding Television Format Viewing

✎
See the warranty card for more information on warranty terms.
Wide screen format LED 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 non-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 LED Displays that leave subtle, but permanent burned-in ghost
images in the LED picture. To avoid this, vary the programming and images, and primarily display full screen moving images,
not stationary patterns or dark bars. On LED models that offer picture sizing features, use these controls to view different
formats as a full screen picture.
Be careful about the television formats you select and the length of time you view them. Uneven LED 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), still image elements (such as TV channel logos, stock or news bars
at the screen bottom etc.), or programs in panorama or 4:3 image format on the screen. Constantly displaying still pictures
can cause image burn-in on the LED screen, which will affect image quality. To reduce risk of this effect, please follow the
recommendations below:
y Avoid displaying the same TV channel for long periods.
y Always try to display any image in full screen. Use the TV set's picture format menu for the best possible match.
y Reduce brightness and contrast to avoid the appearance of after-images.
y Use all TV features designed to reduce image retention and screen burn. Refer to the e-Manual for details.
