IMPORTANT WARRANTY INFORMATION
REGARDING TELEVISION FORMAT
VIEWING
~
See the warranty card for more information on
warranty terms.
Wide screen format LED Displays (with 16:9 aspect
ratios, the 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, with the images constantly in
motion. Displaying stationary graphics and images
on the screen, such as the dark sidebars on non-
expanded standard format television video and
programming, should be limited to no more than
5% of the total television viewing time per week.
Additionally, viewing other stationary images and
text such as stock market crawls, 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
LED Displays that
leave subtle, but permanent burned-in ghost
images in the LED picture. To avoid this, vary the
programming and images, and primarily display
full screen moving images, not stationary patterns
or
dark bars. On LED models that offer picture
sizing
features, use these
controls
to view
different
formats as a full screen picture.
Be careful about the television formats you select
and the length of time you view them
.
Uneven LED
aging as a result of format selection and
use,
as
well
as
burned in images, are not covered by your
Samsung limited warranty.

Still image warning
Avoid displaying still images
(such as
jpeg picture
files}, still image
elements
(such as 1V channel
logos,
stock
or news bars at the screen bottom
etc.), or programs in panorama or 4:3 image format
on
the
screen.
Constantly displaying still pictures
can cause
image burn-in on the LED screen,
which
will
affect
image quality. To reduce risk
of
this effect,
please follow the recommendations below:
•
Avoid displaying the same 1V channel for long
periods.
•
Always
try to
display any image in full screen.
Use the 1V set's picture format menu for the
best
possible match.
•
Reduce brightness and contrast to avoid the
appearance
of after-images.
•
Use all IV
features
designed to
reduce
image
retention
and screen
burn. Refer to
the
e-Manual for
details.
