high-precision technology and 99.99% or
more of the pixels are effective, black
dots may appear or bright points of light
(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.

place objects on top of this TV set. The
image may be uneven or the LCD screen
may be damaged.
• If this TV set is used in a cold place, a
smear may occur in the picture or the
picture may become dark. This does not
indicate a failure. These phenomena
disappear as the temperature rises.

are displayed continuously. It may
disappear after a few moments.
• The screen and cabinet get warm when
this TV set is in use. This is not a
malfunction.
