Precautions When Displaying a Still Image

WARNINGS:
Image retention, commonly known as screen burn-in, can occur on most types of television if the same image is
displayed continuously.
The most common causes of image retention are logos that remain stationary on the TV screen. These logos are
common on many programmes received via a Setop Box. To reduce this risk, avoid displaying still images for long
durations and lower the brightness or contrast settings to decrease the intensity of the picture.
Extended viewing of movies and programs in aspect ratios that are different from the aspect ratio of the TV may
cause image retention. Always endevour to avoid black borders top or bottom by using the zoom function. This will
help eliminate the black borders and fit the picture to the entire area of the screen.
Using a video game console may cause image retention and is not recommended.
When using a PC input, avoid displaying still images for long durations and reduce the brightness or contrast set-
tings to decrease the intensity of the picture.
IMPORTANT:
Image retention issues are not covered by your Samsung® warranty.
A still image may cause permanent damage to the TV screen.
Note : If there are borders around the
displayed picture (top or sides), then
extended viewing could result in the
border leaving a trace image on the
screen.
Do not leave the screen in pause mode for
extended periods of time as you may
experience temporary or permanent image
burn.
