Image Sticking:
The plasma monitor illuminates phosphor to display images. The phosphor has a finite
illumination life. After extended periods of illumination, the brightness of the phosphor
will be degraded to such extent that stationary images would burn-in that part of the
screen as grayed-out images.
Tips to prevent such image sticking are:
- Do not display static images of high contrast and high brightness for long periods.
Use of video games and computers on this product may promote burn in of images
on the screen. Many portions of video game play and computer desktops do not
refresh and will contribute to this problem.
- Do not leave stationary images appearing for long, but try to refresh them at
appropriate intervals of time, or try to move them using screen saver function.
- Turn down the contrast and brightness control.
Note:
Such “Image Sticking” constitute misuse are NOT COVERED by the manufacturer’s
