Information on Use
Precautions When Displaying a Still Image
A still image may cause permanent damage to the TV screen.
Do not display a still image and partially still image on the LCD panel \
for more than 2 hours as it can cause screen 
image retention. This image retention is also known as screen burn. To avoid such image retention, reduce the degree of 
brightness and contrast of the screen when displaying a still image.
Watching the LCD TV in 4:3 format for a long period of time may leave traces of borders displayed on the left, right and centre of the screen caused by the difference of light emission on the screen.  
Playing a DVD or a game console may cause a similar effect to the screen.  
Damages caused by the above effect are not covered by the Warranty.
Displaying still images from Video games and PC for longer than a certain period of time may produce partial after-images. 
To prevent this effect, reduce the ‘brightness’ and ‘contrast’ when displaying still images. 
WARNINGS:
Image retention, commonly known as screen burn-in, can occur on most types of television if the same image is displayed continuously. 
The most common causes of image retention are logos that remain stationa\
ry on the TV screen. These logos are common on many 
programmes received via a Set-top Box.
To reduce this risk, avoid displaying still images for long durations and\
 lower the brightness or contrast settings to decrease the 
intensity of the picture. Extended viewing of movies and programs in asp\
ect ratios that are different from the aspect ratio of the TV may 
cause image retention. Always endeavour to avoid black borders top or bottom by using the zoom function. This will help eliminate the 
black borders and fit the picture to the entire area of the screen. Usin\
g a video game console may cause image retention and is not 
recommended. When using a PC input, avoid displaying still images for lo\
ng durations and reduce the brightness or contrast settings to 
decrease the intensity of the picture.
IMPORTANT:
Image retention issues are not covered by your Samsung® warranty.
Digital TV Notice
Functionalities related to Digital TV(DVB) are only available in count\
ries/areas where DVB-T (MPEG2 and MPEG4 AVC)

Securing the TV to the Wall
Caution: Pulling, pushing, or climbing on the TV may cause the TV to fall. In 
particular, ensure your children do not hang over or destabilize the TV; doing 
so may cause the TV to tip over, causing serious injuries or death. For added 
stability, install the anti-fall device for safety purposes, as follows.
To avoid the TV from falling:
1  Put the screws into the clamps and firmly fasten them onto the wall. Con\
firm that the screws have been firmly installed onto the wall.
You may need additional material such as an anchor depending on the type \
of 
wall.
Since the necessary clamps, screws, and string are not supplied, please \
purchase these additionally.
2 Remove the screws from the centre back of the TV, put the screws into the clamps, and then fasten the screws onto the TV again.
Screws may not be supplied with the product. In this case, please purcha\
se the 
screws of the following specifications. 
Screw Specifications:
For a 17 ~ 29 Inch LCD TV: M4 X L15
For a 32 ~ 40 Inch LCD TV: M6 X L15
3 Connect the clamps fixed onto the TV and the clamps fixed onto the wall with a strong string and then tie the string tightly.
Install the TV near to the wall so that it does not fall backwards.
It is safe to connect the string so that the clamps fixed on the wall ar\
e equal to or 
lower than the clamps fixed on the TV.
Untie the string before moving the TV.
4 Verify all connections are properly secured. Periodically check connectio\
ns for any sign of fatigue for failure. If you have any doubt about the security of your connections, 
contact a professional installer.
