Information
Regarding
Television
Format
Viewing
®See the warranty card for more information on warranty terms.
Wide screen format 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 sidebars
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 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 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 afull screen picture.
Be careful
in
the selection and duration of television formats used for viewing. Uneven LCD aging as aresult of format selection
and use. as well as burned-in images, are not covered by your Samsung limited warranty.

on
