• Note on image retention

The LCD TV illuminates phosphor to display images. The phosphor has a finite illumination life. After extended periods of illumination, the brightness of the phosphor will be degraded to such extent that stationary images would burn-in that part of the screen as grayed-out images.

Tips to prevent such image retention are:

-Do not display images having sharp brightness differences or high-contrast images, such as monochrome characters and graphic patterns, for long.

-Do not leave stationary images appearing for long, but try to refresh them at appropriate intervals of time, or try to move them using screen saver function.

-Turn down the contrast and brightness controls.

•Dust the screen and frame with a cleaning cloth from the accessories pack.

• How to clean the LCD screen panel of the LCD Television.

Before cleaning the LCD TV, turn off the LCD TV and disconnect the power plug from the power outlet.

To prevent scratching or damaging the LCD screen face, do not knock or rub the surface with sharp or hard objects. Clean the screen with a soft cloth moistened with warm water and dry with a soft cloth. If it is not enough, then use a cloth with mild detergent. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.

• How to clean the cabinet of the LCD Television.

Use a soft cloth to clean the cabinet and control panel of the LCD TV. When excessively soiled dilute a neutral detergent in water, wet and wring out the soft cloth and afterward wipe with a dry soft cloth.

Never use acid/alkaline detergent, alcoholic detergent, abrasive cleaner, powder soap, OA cleaner, car wax, glass cleaner, etc. especially because they would cause discoloration, scratches or cracks.
