Browser Screen Burn Prevention

Browser Screen Burn Prevention

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

Tip

Sometimes the browser locks onto an incompatible website and it won’t open. Exiting the browser will not correct this condition. When the browser is restarted, the browser returns to the last-used website. To correct this condition, either press a FAV button to go to a known good website or press “Address” and enter a good website.

Controlling the Web Browser

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 and saved in the TV. The next time you press the key briefly, the browser will automatically go to the site you saved.

You can store 32 additional URLs (websites) by using the following buttons together: SHIFT and FAV, CTRL and FAV, ALT and FAV.

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.

As stated previously, the remote control and front panel buttons support only basic browser functions. However, the optional keyboard makes browser navigation much easier and is the only way to enter a URL address. Below is a table that shows which remote buttons work what function.
