Considerations for Usage
Still image (immovable) screen may cause permanent damage to PDP.
1. Lengthy display of still images from video games, banners, graphics and others may fatally damage
the screen.
2. When using Picture-In-Picture, permanent damage may occur if the sub-image screen stays on the
corner of screen for a long time.
3. When using the PDP in 4 : 3 formats with sidebars for a long period of time, it may cause damage to
the plasma panel. It is recommended that you use 16 : 9 or Panorama format. (Image burn-in can be
avoided by using "Panel Protection" function or a screen-saver. However, once image burn-in
occurs, it may not disappear completely. An image will be dimmed as the image is displayed long
time or repeatedly.)
Any damage to the PDP caused by improper usage (such as image burn-in) shall not be covered
by the warranty.
Defective pixels that can be seen on PDP screen. (illuminated spots, bright spots,
scotoma , blind spot, blinking)
Generally, PDP consists of about 1.22 million pixels and having defective pixels is possible. A PDP
with a number of defective pixels below a certain number is not considered defective. The limited
number of defective pixels does not affect the performance or reliability of the PDP. The standard of
inspection regarding defective pixels is the same or better as the competitor's offering on similar PDP.
It is not subject to replacement or a refund. We will do our best to minimize the defective pixel as best
as we can.
