WARNINGS
Screen Burn
A characteristic of Plasma and LCD TV Panels is that displaying the same
image for a long time may cause a permanent after-image to remain
on the screen. This is called screen burn. Most pictures shown on your
TV will be constantly moving and fill the screen.
Examples of images that you need to watch out for are as follows
(this is not an all-inclusive list):
TV Channel Logos: e.g. Shopping channel logos and pricing displays-especially
if they are bright and stationary. Moving or low-contrast graphics are less likely
to cause ageing of the screen.
PIP and Multipip: Do not view for long periods of time using the PIP or Multipip
functions.
Time Displays
Teletext: Do not view a stationary page for long periods of time.
TV/DVD Menus: e.g. Listings of DVD disk content.
Pause Mode: Do not leave the screen in pause mode for long periods of time,
e.g. When watching DVDs or videos.
Note: To prevent screen burn if viewing any of the above for long periods of time,
reduce contrast and brightness when viewing. Once burn-in occurs it will never
disappear completely.
