Versat[[e
The light weight and thin size makes it easy to install
your display in a variety of locations where conven-
tional TVs do not fit.
The Product Manufacturing Process: a few
minute colored dots may be present on the
TV screen
This TV is composed of 0.9 to 2.2 million cells. A
few cell defects will normally occur in the this TV
manufacturing process. Several tiny, minute colored
dots visible on the screen should be acceptable. This
also occurs in other this TV manufacturers' products.
The tiny dots appearing does not mean that this TV
is defective. Thus a few cell defects are not sufficient
cause for this TV to be exchanged or returned. Our
production technology minimizes these cell defects
during the manufacture and operation of this
product.
If the TV feels cold to the touch, there may be a
small "flicker" when it is turned on. This is normal,
there is nothing wrong with TV.
Some minute dot defects may be visible on the
screen_ appearing as tiny red, green, or blue spots.
However, they have no adverse effect on the moni-
tor's performance.
Avoid touching the LCD screen or holding your fin-
ger(s) against it for long periods of time. Doing so
may produce some temporary distortion effects on
the screen_
