Important Warranty Information Regarding Television Format Viewing
Screen Image retention
Do not display a still image (such as that from a video game) on the plasma display panel for more than a few minutes. Still images can cause screen
image retention (burn in). To avoid such image retention, reduce the degree of brightness and contrast of the screen when displaying a still image.
Heat on the top of the Plasma TV
The top side of the TV may become hot after long periods of use as heat dissipates from the panel through the vent hole in the upper part of the TV.
This is normal and does not indicate any defect or operational failure of unit.
However, children should be prevented from touching the upper part of the TV.
The TV is making a ‘cracking’ noise.
A ‘cracking’ noise may occur when the TV contracts or expands due to a change in the surrounding environment such as temperature or humidity.
This is normal and not a defect.
Cell Defects
The PDP uses a panel consisting of 1,226,880(SD-level) to 6,221,000 (FHD-level) pixels which require sophisticated technology to produce.
However, there may be a few bright or dark pixels on the screen. These pixels will have no impact on the performance of the product.
Avoid operating the TV at temperatures below 41°F (5°C)
A still image displayed too long may cause permanent damage to the PDP Panel.
Watching the Plasma TV in 4:3 format for a long period of time may leave traces of the borders on the left, right, top, or bottom
of the screen. Playing a DVD or a game console may have a similar effect.
Damage caused by the above effect is not covered by the warranty.
After-images on the Screen.
Displaying still images from Video games for longer than a certain period of time may produce partial after-images.
To prevent this effect, reduce the ‘brightness’ and ‘contrast’ when displaying still images for a long time.
Warranty
Warranty does not cover any damage caused by image retention.
Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.
