Avoiding Image Burn-In; Troubleshooting - Gateway GTW-P42M102 User Manual

Avoiding image burn-in

■ Displaying the same stationary patterns over extended periods of time,
such as black bars, stock tickers, video games, or shopping channel logos
and pricing displays, can leave a permanent ghost image (burn-in). Avoid
this by mixing your viewing patterns. Do not show the same stationary
image for more than 15% of your total TV viewing in any one week.
■ Your warranty does NOT cover screen burn-in.
