Still image warning

Avoid displaying still images (like jpeg picture files) or still image element (like TV programme logo, panorama or 4:3 image format, stock or news bar at
screen bottom etc.) on the screen. Constant displaying of still picture can cause ghosting of LCD screen, which will affect image quality. To reduce risk of
this effect, please follow below recommendations:
• Avoid displaying the same TV channel for long periods.
• Always try to display any image on full screen, use TV set picture format menu for best possible match.
• Reduce brightness and contrast values to minimum required to achieve desired picture quality, exceeded values may speed up the burnout process.
• Frequently use all TV features designed to reduce image retention and screen burnout, refer to proper user manual section for details.

Securing the Installation Space

Keep the required distances between the product and other objects (e.g. walls) to ensure proper ventilation.
Failing to do so may result in fire or a problem with the product due to an increase in the internal temperature of the product.
✎✎ When using a stand or wall-mount, use parts provided by Samsung Electronics only.
xx If you use parts provided by another manufacturer, it may result in a problem with the product or an injury due to the product falling.
✎✎ The appearance may differ depending on the product.
✎✎ Be careful when you contact the TV because some parts can be somewhat hot.
