Important information regarding use of video 
games, computers, captions or other  xed image 
displays
The extended use of  xed image program material can cause 
a permanent “shadow image” on the LCD/LED panel, also 
known as “screen burn”.
This “shadow image” can appear in the background during 
normal viewing. This type of irreversible LCD/LED panel 
deterioration can be limited by observing the following steps:
1. Reduce the brightness/contrast setting to a minimum 
suitable viewing level.
2. Do not display the  xed image for extended periods 
of time.
3. Turn the power o  when not in use.
Examples of images that are more likely to cause “screen burn” 
are as follows (this is not an exhaustive list):
• TV channel logos: e.g. shopping channel logos and 
pricing displays - especially if they are bright and 
stationary. Moving or low-contrast graphics are less 
likely to cause ageing of the screen.
• Time displays.
• Teletext: Do not view a stationary page for a long 
period of time
• TV/DVD menus: e.g. listings of DVD disc content.
• Pause mode: Do not leave the TV in pause mode 
for long periods of time, e.g. when watching DVDs 
or videos.
Important: Once ‘shadow image/screen burn’ 
occurs, it will never disappear and is not 
repairable under warranty.
