01Important User Guidance Information

CAUTION

Panel sticking and after-image lag

•Displaying the same images such as still images for a long time may cause after-image lagging. This may occur in the following two cases.

1After-image lagging due to remaining electrical load When image patterns with very high peak luminance are displayed for more than 1 minute, after-image lagging may occur due to the remaining electric load. The after-images remaining on the screen will disappear when moving images are displayed. The time for the after-images to disappear depends on the luminance of the still images and the time they had been displayed.

2After-image (lag image) due to burning

Avoid displaying the same image on the Plasma Display continuously over a long period of time.

This includes those images displayed in the following screen modes: multiscreen function, screen size 4:3, screen size FULL 14:9, screen size CINEMA 14:9, screen size Dot by Dot (except when the input size is 1920x1080), and images with black bands at top/bottom or right/left.

If the same image is displayed continuously for several hours, or for shorter periods of time over several days, a permanent after-image may remain on the screen due to burning of the fluorescent materials. Such images may become less noticeable if moving images are later displayed, but they will not disappear completely.

•The energy save function can be set to help prevent damage from screen burning (see page 29).
