Important Warranty Regarding Viewing
information Television Format
Wide screen forrnat LCD Displays (16:9, the aspect 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 and the images are constantly moving. Displaying stationary graphics and images on screen, such as
the dark side-bars on nonexpanded standard format television video and programming, should be limited to no more than 5% of the total
television viewing per week.
Additionally, viewing other stationary images and text such as stock market reports, video game displays, station loges, 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 LCD Displays that leave subtle, but permanent burned-in ghost images in the LCD picture. To
avoid this, vary the programming and images, and primarily display full screen moving images, not stationary patterns or dark bars.
On LCD models that offer picture sizing features, use these controls to view different formats as a full screen picture
Be careful in the selection and duration of television formats used for viewing. Uneven LCD aging as a result of format selection and use,
as well as burned-in images, are not covered by your Samsung limited warranty.
