Wide screen format PDP Displays (16:9,the aspect ratio of the screen width to height) are primarily
designed to view wide screen format fuji-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 the
images are constantly moving_ Displaying stationary graphics and images on screen, such as the dark
side-bars on nonexpanded standard format television video and programming, should be limited to no
more than 5% of the total television viewing per week.
Additionally, viewing other stationary images and text such as stock market reports, video game
displays,station Iogos,web sites or computer graphics and patterns,should be limited as described above
for aJJtelevisions. DispJaying stationary images that exceed the above guideJines can
cause uneven aging of PDP Disptays that Jeove subtJe, but permanent burned-in
ghost images in the PDPpictureo To avoid this, vary the programming and images,
and primariJy dispJay furls€teen moving images, not stationary pa_erns 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 television formats used for viewing_ Uneven PDPaging as a
result of format selection and use,as well as burned-in images, are not covered by your Samsung limited
warranty.
@ScreenJ_ageretention
Do not display a still image (such as on a video game or when hooking up a PC to this PDP)on the plasma
display panel for more than,several minutes as it can cause screen image retention. This image retention is
also known as screen burn _To avoid such image retention, refer to page 40 of this manual to reduce the
degree of brightness and contrast of this screen when displaying a still image.
@ CdJJ)efect
The plasma display panel consists of fine cells. Although the panels are produced with more than 99.9
percent active cells, there may be some cells that do not produce light or remain lit.
@ Altitude
The PDP wiJJnot operate normally at altitudes above 6500 ft.
@Warranty
Warranty does not cover any damage caused by image retention.
Burndn is not covered by the warranty.
