Important Warranty Information Regarding PDP Format

Viewing

Wide screen format PDP Displays (16:9,the aspect ratio of the screen width to height) are primarily

designed to view wide screen format full-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

constantly moving. Displaying stationary graphics and images on screen, such as the dark side-bars on

non-expanded standard format PDP video and programming, should be limited to no more than 5% of

the total PDP viewing per week.

Additionally, viewing other stationary images and text such as stock market reports, video game displays,

station logos, web sites or computer graphics and patterns, should be limited as described above for all

PDP displays. Displaying stationary images that exceed the above guidelines can cause uneven aging of

PDP Displays that leave subtle, but permanent burned-in ghost images in the PDP picture. To avoid

this, vary the programming and images, and primarily display full screen moving images, not stationary

patterns 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 PDP formats used for viewing. Uneven PDP aging as a result

of format selection and use, as well as burned-in images, are not covered by your Samsung limited

warranty.

User Instructions

◆Screen Image retention

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 2 hours as it can cause screen image retention. This image

retention is also known as “screen burn”. To avoid such image retention, reduce the degree of

brightness and contrast of this screen when displaying a still image.

◆Cell Defect

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.

◆Height

The PDP can normally operate only under 2000m in height. It might abnormally function at a place

over 2000m in height and do not install and operate there.

◆Warranty

-Warranty does not cover any damage caused by image retention.

-Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.
