IMPORTANT WARRANTY INFORMATION REGARDING 
TELEVISION FORMAT VIEWING

✎

See the warranty card for more information on warranty terms.

Wide screen format LED Displays (with 16:9 aspect ratios, the 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, with the images constantly in motion. Displaying stationary 
graphics and images on the screen, such as the dark sidebars on non-
expanded standard format television video and programming, should be 
limited to no more than 5% of the total television viewing time per week.
Additionally, viewing other stationary images and text such as stock market 
crawls, video game displays, station logos, web sites or computer graphics 
and patterns, should be limited as described above for all televisions. 
Displaying stationary images that exceed the above guidelines can cause 
uneven aging of LED Displays that leave subtle, but permanent burned-in 
ghost images in the LED picture. To avoid this, vary the programming and 
images, and primarily display full screen moving images, not stationary 
patterns or dark bars. On LED models that offer picture sizing features, use 
these controls to view different formats as a full screen picture.
Be careful about the television formats you select and the length of time you 
view them. Uneven LED aging as a result of format selection and use, as well 
as burned in images, are not covered by your Samsung limited warranty.

Still image warning

Avoid displaying still images (such as jpeg picture files), still image elements 
(such as TV channel logos, stock or news bars at the screen bottom etc.), 
or programs in panorama or 4:3 image format on the screen. Constantly 
displaying still pictures can cause image burn-in on the LED screen, which 
will affect image quality. To reduce risk of this effect, please follow the 
recommendations below:

•

Avoid displaying the same TV channel for long periods.

•

Always try to display any image in full screen. Use the TV set’s picture 
format menu for the best possible match.

•

Reduce brightness and contrast to avoid the appearance of after-images.

•

Use all TV features designed to reduce image retention and screen burn. 
Refer to the e-Manual for details.
