• Avoid operating the TV at temperatures below 41°F (5°C)
• A still image displayed too long may cause permanent damage to the PDP Panel.
Watching the Plasma TV in 4:3 format for a long period of time may leave traces of borders
displayed on the left, right and centre of the screen caused by the difference of light
emission on the screen. Playing a DVD or a game console may cause similar effects to the
screen.
Damages caused by the above effect are not covered by the Warranty.
• After-images on the Screen.
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 for a long
time.
• Warranty
Warranty does not cover any damage caused by image retention.
Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.
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 Set-top 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 programmes in aspect ratios that are different from the aspect ratio of the TV may
cause image retention. Always endeavour 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 settings to
decrease the intensity of the picture.
IMPORTANT: Image retention issues are not covered by your Samsung® warranty.
