C3 important Warranty information Regarding Television Format ViewingSee the warranty card for more information on warranty terms.Wide screen format LCD Displays (16:9, the aspect ratio of the screen width to height) are primarily designed to view wide screenformat full-motion video. The images displayed on them should primarily be in the wide screen 16:9 ratio format, or expanded tofill the screen if your model offers this feature and the images are constantly moving. Displaying stationary graphics and imageson screen, such as the dark sidebars on nonexpanded standard format television video and programming, should be limited to nomore than 5% of the total television viewing per week.Additionally, viewing other stationary images and text such as stock market reports, video game displays, station Iogos, web sitesor computer graphics and patterns, should be limited as described above for all televisions. Displaying stationary images thatexceed the above guidelines can cause uneven aging of LCD Displays that leave subtle, but permanent burned-in ghost images inthe LCD picture. To avoid this, vary the programming and images, and primarily display full screen moving images, not stationarypatterns or dark bars.On LCD models that offer picture sizing features, use these controls to view different formats as a full screen picture.Be careful in the selection and duration of television formats used for viewing. Uneven LCD aging as a result of format selectionand use, as well as burned-in images, are not covered by your Samsung limited warranty.U.S.A OnlyThe product unit accompanying this user manual is licensed under certain intellectual property rights of certain third parties.In particular, this product is licensed under the following US patents: 5,991,715, 5,740,317, 4,972,484, 5,214,678, 5,323,396,5,539,829, 5,606,618, 5,530,655, 5,777,992, 6,289,308, 5,610,985, 5,481,643, 5,544,247, 5,960,037, 6,023,490, 5,878,080,and under US Published PatentApplication No. 2001-44713-A1.This license is limited to private non-commercial use by end-user consumers for licensed contents.

To avoid such image retention, reduce the degree of brightness and contrast of thescreen when displaying a still image.• Watching the LCD TV in 4:3 format for a long period of time may leave traces of borders displayed on theleft, right and center of the screen caused by the difference of light emission on the screen. Playing a DVD ora game console may cause a similar effect to the screen. Damages caused by the above effect are notcovered by the Warranty.• Displaying still images from Video games and PC for longer than a certain period of time may produce partial after-images.
