Image Retention Reduction Menu
"Extended life settings" enables you to set the following 5 menus (Image Retention Reduction Menu) as recommended
values or set them individually.
Picture Mode
Contrast
"Picture Mode" and "Contrast" are same as "Picture" menu items (see page 27). The settings of this menu will be
reÀ ected to the "Picture" menu.
Side panel
Do not display a picture in 4:3 mode for an extended period,
as this can cause an image retention to remain on the side
panels on either side of the display ¿ eld.
To reduce the risk of such an image retention, illuminate
the side panels.
This function may be applicable to the non-picture area.
Off: Darken both ends.
Low: Make it dark gray.
Mid: Make it gray.
High: Make it light gray.
Notes:
• To reduce the occurrence of image retention, set the Side panel to High.
• The side panel may À ash (alternate black/white) depending on the picture being shown on the screen. Using Cinema
mode will reduce such À ashing.
