Reducing Afterimage/

Ghosting (Screen Saver

Function)

If an image like a computer screen or a still picture, the brightness of which does not change, is displayed for a long time, this image may be burnt into the panel or may leave a ghosting image behind. To avoid this, or to attempt to fix it, a screen saver function has been provided with this unit. The screen saver function has two screen savers. One screen saver reverses the image (PIC INVERSION) while the other automatically changes the position of the image displayed (PIC ORBITING).

Situations which can result in burn-in and picture retention

to the left and right that appear with 4:3 video source (conventional TV broadcast), 3Video game sources, 4DVD on-screen menu displays, 5On-screen menus, channel numbers, etc., of connected equipment such as DSS, Cable box, video decks, etc.
