Exceeding the bandwidth capability of the system can cause quality issues with picture and/or sound. Burn In A condition where a still image has been on screen for an excessive period of time and created a permanent shadow on the display.
Glossary screen size for LCD Displays is normally 30” or smaller. LCD Displays are subject to “burn in”. See Burn In and “Appendix A: Important Information Concerning Your Service”.
