Stationary images on the TV screen
A characteristic of LCD and Plasma Panels is that
displaying the same image for a long time can
cause a permanent after-image to remain on the
screen. This is called phosphor burn in. Normal
use of the TV should involve the showing of
pictures that contain constantly moving and
changing images that fill the screen.
Examples of stationary images (this is not an all
inclusive list, you may encounter others in your
viewing).
• TV and DVD menus: listings of DVD disk
content.
• Black bars: when black bars appear at the left
and right side of the screen, it is recommended
to change to a picture format so that the
picture fills the entire screen;
• TV channel logo: present a problem if they are
bright and stationary. Moving or low-contrast
graphics are less likely to cause uneven aging of
the screen;
• Stock market stickers: presented at the bottom
of the TV screen;
• Shopping channel logos and pricing displays:
bright and shown constantly or repeatedly in
the same location on the TV screen.
• Examples of still pictures also include logos,
computer images, time display, teletext and
images displayed in 4:3 mode, static images or
characters, etc.
Tip:
Reduce contrast and brightness when viewing.
