LCD screen
y
Although the LCD screen is made with high-precision technology
and delivers over 99.99% of effective pixels, black or white sports
(RGB) may appear continually on the LCD screen. Either b
l
ack or
white spots are the structural property of the LCD panel and not a
malfunction.
y
The LCD screen is made with high-precision technology to deliver
high performance and picture quality. Although the backlight of this
TV is to maximize the brightness of the TV, the brightness of the
screen may be uneven in the absence of any input signal or when
the screen is blank when viewed in a dark environment. This is
normal and not a malfunction of the TV. Changing the Backlight
Control from the Function Setting can improve this condition.
y
Avoid exposing the LCD screen in direct sunlight. This will damage
the LCD panel.
y
Do not press on or scratch the LCD screen nor put objects on the
TV. This may make the image display uneven or damage the LCD
panel.
