Important User Guidance Information
Image Retention
When a static image is left frozen on a display for several
hours, a faint imprint of the image, known as image retention,
can remain. This image retention may be temporary or perma-
nent. Although caused by different things, image retention can
occur on all display technologies, including plasma and LCD.
On today's plasma displays, permanent image retention is less
of a worry. Most image retention can be improved simply by
watching moving video.
Image retention, also known as burn-in, can occur in all
phosphor-based display systems (including CRT television
systems - both direct view and projection - as well as plasma
display systems). Displaying the same still images for long
periods should be avoided as permanent image retention or
burn-in may occur. Recommended guidelines are as follows:
• Do not display static images for long periods (such as still
images, fixed images from PC or TV game equipment, and/or
fixed images such as time of day indicator or channel logo
display).
• Do not display content in the 4:3 aspect ratio (black or gray
bars on left and right side of content) or letter-box content
(black bars above and below content) for extended periods of
time, or use either of these viewing modes repeatedly within
a short period of time. This plasma display system is
equipped with multiple wide-screen viewing modes; use one
of these screen modes to fill the entire screen with content.
• Displaying dark images after displaying still images for a
period of time may cause image retention. In most cases, the
image retention can be corrected by displaying bright images
for a similar period of time. If you display still images on your
plasma display system for long periods of time, image
retention may be irreparable.
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.
1. After-image lagging due to remaining electric
load
When image patterns with very high peak luminance are
displayed 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 dis-
played. The time for the after-images to disappear depends on
the luminance of the still images and the time they had been
displayed.
2. After-image (lag image) due to burning
Avoid displaying the same image on the Plasma Display
continuously over a long period of time. If the same image is
displayed continuously for several hours, 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.
Preventing damage from screen burning
• Please show images in full screen unless doing so causes
copyright infringement. See page 35.
• The Screen Saver function can be set to help prevent screen
burn-in. See page 36.
