To use this product for a long period of time
The Energy Save function can maintain efficiency of the screen for
a long period of time. Setting the Energy Save function to “Mode1”
is recommended in order to maintain the efficiency of the screen
for a long period of time.
Caution
Panel sticking and after-image lag
Displaying the same images such as still images for a long time
may cause after-image lagging. This may occur in the following two
cases.
After-image lagging due to remaining electrical load
When image patterns with very high peak luminance are displayed
for more than 1 minute, after-image lagging may occur due to the
remaining electric load. The after-images remaining on the screen
will disappear when moving images are displayed. The time for the
after-images to disappear depends on the luminance of the still
images and the time they had been displayed.
After-image (lag image) due to burning
Avoid displaying the same image on the plasma television
continuously over a long period of time.
If the same image is displayed continuously for long periods or for
shorter periods of time over several days, a permanent after-image
may remain on the screen due to burning of the fluorescent
materials. Such images may become less noticeable if moving
images are later displayed, but they will not disappear completely.
Note
• To prevent damage from screen burning, after a display time of
5 to 10 minutes this plasma television will automatically turn off
any still images generated by the panel itself. This includes the
Graphical User Interface and the Home Gallery function.
• To prevent screen burning, the display position is automatically
changed imperceptibly when watching plasma television (see
Orbiter on page 49).
Preventing damage from screen burning
• We recommend that you enjoy watching images displayed in
full screen, except when doing so may result in copyright
infringement (see page 46).
• Set the Side Mask detection function to “On”, the High
Definition 16:9 aspect ratio images containing side masks will
be detected and the side masks will be added automatically or
the image displayed in full screen, leading to more effective
countermeasures taken for the screen burning (see Detecting
side masks on page 47).
