Important Warranty 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 pnmarily 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 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.

• If an external device such as a OVO I Blu-ray player I cable box I satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) supporting
HOMI versions older than 1.3 is connected, the TV may operate abnormally (e.g. no screen display I no sound I
annoying flicker abnormal Color).
• If there is no sound after connecting an HOMI cable, check the HOMI version of the external device. If you
suspect the version is older than 1.3, contact the provider of the device to confirm the HOMI version and request
an upgrade.
