Warning concerning stationary images on the TV screen

A characteristic of Plasma Display Panels is that displaying the same image for a long time can cause a permanent after-image to remain on the screen. This is called phosphor burn in. Normal use of the TV should involve the showing of pictures that contain constantly moving and changing images that fill the screen.

Glossary

DVI (Digital Visual Interface) : A digital interface standard created by the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG) to convert analog signals into digital signals to

accommodate both analog and digital monitors.

VGA (Video Graphics Array) : a common standard graphics display system for PCs.

RGB signals : These are the three video signals, Red Green Blue, which make up the picture. Using these signals improves picture quality.

S-VHS signals : These are 2 separate Y/C video signals from the S-VHS and Hi-8 recording standards. The luminance signals Y (black and white) and chrominance signals C (colour) are recorded separately on the tape. This provides better picture quality than with standard video (VHS and 8 mm) where the Y/C signals are combined to provide only one video signal.

16:9 : Refers to the ratio between the length and height of the screen. Wide screen televisions have a ratio of 16:9, conventional screen TV sets have a ratio of 4:3.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) : Provides an uncompressed, all digital audio/video interface between the TV and any HDMI-equipped audio/video component, such as set-top box, DVD player and A/V receiver. HDMI supports enhanced or high-definition video plus two-channel digital audio.

NTSC : NTSC is the analog television system in use in Korea, Japan, United States, Canada and certain other places, mostly in the Americas (see map).

It is named for the National Television System(s) Committee, the industry-wide standardization body that created it.

PAL (Phase Alternating Line): is a colour encoding system used in broadcast television systems in large parts of the world.

HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital-Content Protection): HDCP encrypts the transmission of digital content between the video source or transmitter such as a computer, DVD player or set-top box and the digital display or receiver such as a monitor, television or projector.
