Screen care
• Avoid stationary images as much as possible. Stationary

time. Example: on-screen menus, black bars and time displays. If you
must use stationar y images, reduce screen contrast and brightness
to avoid screen damage.

substances such as alcohol, chemicals or household cleaners on the
TV.
• Risk of damage to the TV screen! Never touch, push, rub or
strike the screen with any object.
• To avoid deformations and color fading, wipe off water drops
as soon as possible.
• Note: Stationar y images may result in permanent damage to
the TV screen.
• Do not display stationar y images on the LCD screen for more
than two hours as this may result in ghost images. To prevent this,
reduce screen brightness and contrast.
• Viewing programs in the 4:3 formats for extended periods of
time may leave different traces on the left and right edges of the
screen as well as along the borders of the image. Avoid using this
mode for extended periods of time.
• Displaying stationary images from video games or computers
for an extended period of time may result in partial after-images
and the appearance of ghost images caused by screen burn. Reduce
screen brightness and contrast accordingly when using the TV in
this way.
• Ghost images, par tial after-images, and other traces that
appear on the TV screen as a result of the above are not covered by
the warranty.
