Browser Screen Burn Prevention

Using the TV’s Features

If the browser is idle for a period of time, a pop-up message appears to remind you to turn it off when you are not using it to prevent uneven wear of the screen. Remember that fixed images tend to “burn” in. In browser mode, the contrast level of your TV is automatically set to a reduced level to help slow the effects of uneven screen aging.

Additional steps have been taken to mitigate uneven screen aging on your TV. You will notice that the usual browser menu and on-screen buttons that you may be accustomed to working with on a PC are not displayed on-screen. Instead, these functions are on your remote or optional keyboard.

Saving Your Favorite URLs

Program any favorite (FAV) key, including HOME and SEARCH, to any URL (website address). After you’ve browsed to a favorite URL, just press the desired key and hold it until a message appears. That site’s URL will be assigned to the key you pressed. The next time you press the key briefly, the browser will automatically go to the site you saved.

Additional storage locations for favorite website are available by pressing SHIFT, CRTL or ALT at the same time you press a FAV key. This provides an additional 21 locations for storing favorites.

If you have the optional keyboard, previously visited sites are also available as a drop-down listing from the address bar. The list can hold only a certain number of addresses, so at some point a new address will replace the oldest one.
