are
primarily
designed

or
expanded
to
fill
the
screen
if
your
model
offers
this
feature
and
the
images
are
constantly
moving.
Displaying
stationary graphics
and
images
on
screen,
such
as
the
dark
sidebars
on
non-
expanded standard
format
television
video
and
programming,
should
be
limited
to
no
more
than
5%
of
the
total
television
viewing
per
week.
Additionally,
viewing
other stationary
images
and
text
such
as
stock market
reports, video

graphics
and
patterns,
should
be
limited
as
described
above
for
all
televisions.
Displaying
stationary
images
that
exceed
the
above
guidelines
can
cause
uneven
aging
of
LCD
Displays
that
leave
subtle,
but permanent burned-in ghost
images
in
the
LCD
picture.
To
avoid
this,
vary
the
programming
and
images,
and
primarily
display
full
screen
moving
images,
not
stationary patterns
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
you
use
for
viewing.
Uneven
LCD
aging
as
a
result
of
format
selection
and
use,
as
well
as
burned-in
images,
are
not
covered
by
your
Samsung
limited
warranty.

and
contrast
values
to

caused
by
an
increase
in
its
internal
temperature.
