Important Warranty Information Regarding Television Format Viewing

❑
See the warranty card for more information on warranty terms.
N
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 nonexpanded 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 used 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.
Precautions When Displaying a Still Image
❑
A still image may cause permanent damage to the TV screen
● Do not display a still image on the LCD panel for more than 2 hours as it can cause screen
image retention. This image retention is also known as "screen burn". To avoid such image
retention, reduce the degree of brightness and contrast of the screen when displaying a still
image.
●
● Displaying still images from Video games and PC for longer than a certain period of time may
produce partial after-images.
To prevent this effect, reduce the 'brightness' and 'contrast' when displaying still images.

Watching the LCD TV in 4:3 format for a long period of time may leave traces
of borders displayed on the left, right and center of the screen caused by the
difference of light emission on the screen.
Playing a DVD or a game console may cause a similar effect to the screen.
Damages caused by the above effect are not covered by the Warranty.
