The normal
use of a TV should
include
a mixture
of
TV picture
types.
The most frequently
used picture
types
should
fill the screen
with constantly
moving
images rather than stationary
images
or patterns.
Displaying
the same stationary
patterns
over
extended
periods
of time or displaying
the same
stationary
pattern
frequently
can leave subtle
but
permanent
ghost images.
To avoid this, mix your
viewing
pattern
and reduce
the initial contrast
level.
Do not show the same stationary
image for more
than 15% of your total TV viewing
in any given
week.
Display
constantly
moving
and changing
images that fill the screen
whenever
possible.
This projection
TV uses picture tubes to project
the
image to the screen.
All picture
tubes age with use.
As they age, their light output
is gradually
reduced.
Normal TV pictures
fill the screen with constantly
changing
images.
Under these conditions,
picture
tubes age at an even rate across
the entire screen.
This maintains
a TV picture
that is evenly bright
over the whole screen.
Stationary
images or
images that only partially
fill the screen (leaving
black or colored
bars to fill the screen),
when
used over extended
periods
of time or when
viewed
repeatedly,
can cause uneven aging of
the phosphors
and leave subtle ghosts
from the
stationary
images
in the picture.
Still or stationary
images
may be received
from
broadcasters,
cable channels,
satellite
channels,
DVD discs, video tapes,
laser discs, onqine
services,
web/[nternet
searching
devices,
video
games,
digital TV tuner/converter
boxes and
karaoke
machines.
Examples
of these types
of images can be, but are
not limited to the following:
Letterbox
top/bottom
black
bars
Shown
at the top and bottom
of the TV screen
when you watch
a widescreen
(16:9) movie on
a standard
(4:3) TV.
Side bar images
Solid bars shown on each side of an image
when watching
a standard
(4:3) program
on a
widescreen
(16:9) TV.
News
and stock-market
report
bars
Ticker running
at the bottom
of the TV screen.
Shopping
channel
logos
& pricing
displays
Bright
graphics
that are shown
constantly
or
repeatedly
in the same location.
Video
game
patterns
and scoreboards
Bright
station
logos
Moving
or low-contrast
graphics
are less likely
to cause uneven aging of the picture tubes.
Online
(Interact)
websites
Or any other stationary
or repetitive
computer
style images,
including
digital
photos
or
computer
applications/programs.
Closed
Captioning
Mitsubishi
recommends
using a gray
background
rather than a black or a bright
color if you frequently
use closed
captioning.
