Important Warranty Information Regarding PDP Format
Viewing
Wide screen format PDP 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
constantly moving. Displaying stationary graphics and images on screen, such as the dark side-bars on
non-expanded standard format PDP video and programming, should be limited to no more than 5% of
the total PDP 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
PDP displays.
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 in the selection and duration of PDP formats used for viewing. 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.
