The images displayed on them shouldprimarily be in the wide screen 16:9 ratio format, or expanded tofill the screen if your model offers this feature and the images areconstantly moving.

Additionally,viewing other stationary images and text such as stock marketreports, video game displays, station logos, web sites or computergraphics and patterns, should be limited as described above forall televisions.
