format full-motion video The images displayed on them shou!d primarily be in the wide screen 16:9 ratio format, or expanded to
fil! 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 nonexpanded standard format television video and programming, should be limited to no

patterns or dark bars.

and use. as well as bumed-In images. are not covered by your Samsung limited warranty.
