When Installing the TV Against a Wall or Enclosed Area
Make sure that your TV has adequate air circulation. Allow enough space around the TV as shown below.
Avoid operating the TV at temperatures below 41 °F (5 °C).

Consider the following for best picture quality

Do not expose the screen to direct illumination or sunlight.
Use spot lighting directed down from the ceiling or cover the windows that face the screen with opaque drapery.
Install the TV in a room where the floor and walls are not of a reflective material.
When moving the TV from a cold area to a warm area, a sudden room temperature change may cause the TV’s picture to blur or show
poor color due to moisture condensation. Should this occur, please wait a few hours to allow the moisture to evaporate before
powering on the TV.
