2) LCD Screen
•Although the LCD screen is made with high-precision technology and 99.99%
or more of the pixels are effective, black dots may appear or bright points of
light (white, red, blue, or green) may appear constantly on the LCD screen.
This is a structural property of the LCD screen and is not a malfunction.
•Do not push or scratch the front filter, or place objects on top of this set.
The image may be uneven or the LCD screen may be damaged.
•The screen and cabinet get warm when this set is in use. This is not a
malfunction.
3) Precautions to Protect the Screen from Damage
Image retention
LCD screen is susceptible to image retention (burn-in) due to the
characteristics of the materials used. Image retention may occur if images are
displayed in the same location on the screen repeatedly or over extended
periods of time. This is not a malfunction of the screen. Avoid displaying
images that may cause image retention.
The following are examples of images that may cause image
retention:
•Content with black bars either on the top and bottom and/or the left and right
sides of the screen. (for example, Letterboxed, 4:3 screen, Standard definition)
•Static images such as photos.
•Video games that might have static content in some part of the screen.
•On-screen menus, program guides, channel logos etc.
•Static content from applications.
•On-screen tickers, such as those used for news and headlines.
