There may be red, blue, green and black spots on
the screen
This is a characteristic of liquid crystal panels and is
not a problem. The liquid crystal panel is built with
very high precision technology giving you fine picture
details. Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may
appear on the screen as a fixed point of red, green,
blue or black. Please note this does not affect the
performance of your LCD.
Parts of the TV become hot
Even if the temperature of parts of the front, top and
rear panels has risen, these temperature rises do
not cause any problems in terms of performance or
quality.
