This image retention is also known as “screen burn”. To avoid such image retention, reduce the degree ofbrightness and contrast of the screen when displaying a still image.• Heat on the top of the Plasma TVThe top side of the product may be hot after long period of use as heat dissipates from the panel through the vent hole in the upper part of theproduct.
