Warning: Preventing
Afterimage Retention
Your plasma TV illuminates phosphor to display images,
much like a conventional tube-type television. Viewing
stationary images for extended periods of time results in
uneven aging of the phosphor, causing grayed-out images
to permanently appear on the screen.
Permanent afterimage retention can be avoided by taking
some basic precautions. Following the recommendations
listed below ensures your plasma TV will have longer life
and offer better performance:
NOTE: Afterimage retention and uneven screen aging are
not covered by your warranty.
•
Whenever possible, avoid frequently displaying
stationary images, such as Web sites, computer graphics,
or video games for extended periods of time.
•
Display video and images in the widescreen 16:9 ratio
format. Use the Aspect button on the remote control to
change from 4:3 screen size (standard television) to fill
the screen in 16:9 ratio. This will prevent potential
afterimage retention of sidebars.
•
Avoid viewing the onscreen display (OSD) menus from
DVD players, VCRs, and other components for extended
periods of time.
•
When watching a movie from a DVD player or VCR, do
not leave the same image paused continuously over a
long period of time.
•
Turn down the contrast and brightness of the screen. High
brightness and contrast can accelerate afterimage
retention or stationary images.
