Screen Image retention

Do not display a still image (such as on a video game) on the plasma display panel for more than several minutes as it can cause 
screen image retention. This image retention is also known as “screen burn”. To avoid such image retention, reduce the degree of 
brightness and contrast of the screen when displaying a still image.

•

Heat on the top of the Plasma TV

The top side of the product may be hot after long periods of use as heat dissipates from the panel through the vent hole in the upper 
part of the product.

This is normal and does not indicate any defect or operation failure of the product.

However, children should be prevented from touching the upper part of the product.

•

The product is making a “cracking” noise.

A “cracking” noise may occur when the product contracts or expands due to a change in the surrounding environment such as 
temperature or humidity. This is normal and not a defect of the unit.

•

Cell Defects

The PDP uses a panel consisting of 2,360,000(HD-level) to 6,221,000(FHD-level) pixels which require sophisticated technology to 
produce. However, there may be a few bright or dark pixels on the screen. These pixels will have no impact on the performance of 
the product.

•

Avoid operating the TV at temperatures below 41°F (5°C)

•

A still image displayed too long may cause permanent damage to the PDP Panel.

Watching the Plasma TV in 4:3 format for a long period of time may leave traces of borders displayed on the left, right and centre 

of the screen caused by the difference of light emission on the screen. Playing a DVD or a game console may cause similar effects 

to the screen.
Damages caused by the above effect are not covered by the Warranty.

•

After-images on the Screen.

Displaying still images from Video games and PC for longer than a certain period of time may produce partial after-images.

To prevent this effect, reduce the “brightness” and “contrast” when displaying still images for a long time.

•

Warranty

Warranty does not cover any damage caused by image retention.

Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.

•

Caution

The glass screen of your PDP TV can break if you accidently drop the TV. Handle the TV with care.
When moving the TV, always have two or more people pick it up and carry it as a safety precaution. Do not lay the TV flat on its 

face or back.

Your Samsung Plasma TV is a high quality television that has been carefully packaged to protect the integrity of its glass panel and 
component parts during shipment. It is, nonetheless, a fragile piece of electronics that requires careful handling. Refrain from putting 
undue stress on any part of the packaging when shipping or unpacking the TV. Use care when installing the TV. Avoid placing the 
TV in a location where it may be struck, exposed to sharp impacts, or fall. Panel breakage caused by a fall or impact strike is not 
covered under the manufacturer's warranty.
