Figures and illustrations in this User Manual are provided for reference only and may differ from actual product appearance.

Product design and speciﬁcations may be changed without notice.

Still image warning

Avoid displaying still images (such as jpeg picture ﬁles) or still image elements (such as TV channel logos, panorama or 4:3 image format, stock

or news bars at screen bottom etc.) on the screen. Constant displaying of still pictures can cause ghosting of LCD screen, which will affect image

quality. To reduce risk of this effect, please follow below recommendations:

• Avoid displaying the same TV channel for long periods.

• Always try to display any image on full screen, use TV set picture format menu for best possible match.

• Reduce brightness and contrast values to minimum required to achieve desired picture quality, exceeded values may speed up the burnout

process.

• Frequently use all TV features designed to reduce image retention and screen burnout, refer to proper user manual section for details.

Securing the Installation Space

Keep the required distances between the product and other objects (e.g. walls) to ensure proper ventilation.

Failing to do so may result in ﬁre or a problem with the product due to an increase in the internal temperature of the product.

✎

When using a stand or wall-mount, use parts provided by Samsung Electronics only.

If you use parts provided by another manufacturer, it may result in a problem with the product or an injury due to the product falling.

✎

The appearance may differ depending on the product.

✎

Be careful when you contact the TV because some parts can be somewhat hot.

The picture may not display normally (if at all) or the audio may not work if an external device that uses an older

version of HDMI mode is connected to the TV. If such a problem occurs, ask the manufacturer of the external

device about the HDMI version and, if out of date, request an upgrade.

Be sure to purchase a certiﬁed HDMI cable. Otherwise, the picture may not display or a connection error may

occur.
