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 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 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 you use 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), 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 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 any image in full screen. Use the TV set's picture format menu for the best possible match.
• Reduce brightness and contrast values to the minimum required to achieve the desired picture quality. Exceeding the minimum required
values may speed up the burn-in process.
• Frequently use all TV features designed to reduce image retention and screen burn-in. Refer to appropriate e-Manual sections for details.
Keep the required distances between the TV, the wall, and other objects to ensure proper ventilation. Failing to do so may result in a fire or a
problem with the TV caused by an increase in its internal temperature.
