Important Warranty Information

Regarding Television Format Viewing
Standard screen format televisions (4:3, the aspect
ratio of the screen width to height) are primarily
designed to view standard format full-motion video.
The images displayed on them should primarily be in
the standard 4:3 ratio format and constantly moving.
Displaying stationary graphics and images on screen,
such as the dark top and bottom letterbox bars (wide
screen pictures), should be limited to no more than
15% of the total television viewing per week.

Wide screen format televisions (16:9, the aspect ratio

of the screen width to height) are primarily designed to
view wide screen format full-motion video. The images
displayed on them should primarily be in the wide
screen 16:9 ratio format, or expanded to fill the screen
if your model offers this feature, and constantly
moving. Displaying stationary graphics and images on
screen, such as the dark side-bars on non-expanded
standard format television video and programming,
should be limited to no more than 15% of the total
television viewing per week.

Additionally, viewing other stationary images and text

such as stock market reports, video game displays,
station logos, web sites or computer graphics and
patterns, should be limited as described above for all
televisions. Displaying any stationary images that
exceed the above guidelines can cause uneven aging
of picture tubes (CRTs) that leave subtle, but
permanent burned-in ghost images in the television
picture. To avoid this, vary the programming and
images, and primarily display full screen moving
images, not stationary patterns or dark bars.
On television models that offer picture sizing features,
use these controls to view the different formats as a
full screen picture.

Be careful in the selection and duration of television

formats used for viewing. Uneven CRT aging as a
result of format selection and use, as well as other
burned-in images, is not covered by your Samsung
limited warranty.
