IMPORTANT WARRANTY INFORMATION
REGARDING TELEVISION FORMAT
VIEWING
✎
See the warranty card for more information on
warranty terms.
Wide screen format PDP Displays (with 16:9 aspect
ratios, the 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, with the images constantly in
motion. Displaying stationary graphics and images
on the screen, such as the dark sidebars on non-
expanded standard format television video and
programming, should be limited to no more than
5% of the total television viewing time per week.
Additionally, viewing other stationary images and
text such as stock market crawls, 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 PDP Displays that
leave subtle, but permanent burned-in ghost
images in the PDP picture. To avoid this, vary the
programming and images, and primarily display
full screen moving images, not stationary patterns
or dark bars. On PDP models that offer picture
sizing features, use these controls to view different
formats as a full screen picture.
Be careful about the television formats you select
and the length of time you view them. Uneven PDP
aging as a result of format selection and use, as
well as burned in images, are not covered by your
Samsung limited warranty.

Still image warning
Avoid displaying still images (such as jpeg picture
files), still image elements (such as TV channel
logos, stock or news bars at the screen bottom
etc.), or programs in panorama or 4:3 image format
on the screen. Constantly displaying still pictures
can cause image burn-in on the LED screen, which
will affect image quality. To reduce risk of this effect,
please follow the recommendations below:
• Avoid displaying the same TV channel for long
periods.
• Always try to display any image in full screen.
Use the TV set’s picture format menu for the
best possible match.
• Reduce brightness and contrast to avoid the
appearance of after-images.
• Use all TV features designed to reduce image
retention and screen burn. Refer to the
e-Manual for details.
