Screen Burn
A characteristic of Plasma and LCD TV Panels is that displaying the same image for a long period of
time may cause a permanent after-image to remain on the screen. This is called screen burn. Most
pictures shown on your TV will be constantly moving and fill the screen.
Examples of images that you need to watch out for are as follows (this is not an all-inclusive list):
f black bars appear at the left/right or top/bottom of the screen it is recommended to
change the format so that the picture fills the entire screen.
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.
Do not view for long periods of time using the PIP or Multipip functions.
Do not view a stationary page for long periods of time.
e.g. Listings of DVD disk content.
Do not leave the screen in pause mode for long periods of time, e.g. When watching
DVDs or videos.
To prevent screen burn if viewing any of the above for long periods of time, reduce contrast and
brightness when viewing. Once burn-in occurs it will never disappear completely.
