Symptoms Check
The screen darkens slightly when bright pictures 
with minimal movements are shown.The screen will darken slightly when photos, still images of 
a computer or other pictures with minimal movements are 
shown for an extended period. This is done to reduce image 
retention on the screen and the shortening of the screen’s 
service life: It is normal and not indicative of malfunctioning.
It takes a while for the picture to appear.The unit digitally processes the various signals in order 
to reproduce esthetically pleasing images. As such, it 
sometimes takes a few moments for the picture to appear 
when the power has been turned on, when the input has 
been switched.
The edges of the images flicker.Due to the characteristics of the system used to drive the 
panel, the edges may appear to flicker in the fast-moving 
parts of the images: This is normal and not indicative of 
malfunctioning.
There may be red spots, blue spots, green spots 
and black spots on the screen.This is a characteristic of liquid crystal panels and is 
not a problem. The liquid crystal panel is built with very 
high precision technology giving you fine picture details. 
Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may appear on the 
screen as fixed points of red, blue, green, or black. Please 
note this does not affect the performance of your LCD.
Image retention appearsImage retention may occur. If you display a still picture for 
an extended period, the image might remain on the screen. 
However, it will disappear when a general moving picture is 
displayed for a while. This is not considered as malfunction.
