and uses that reading to control the panel brightness
level and picture parameters to reduce the HDTV’s
power consumption.

Displaying a still picture for a long time may cause an
“afterimage” or “ghost” on the screen. To help avoid
this situation, use the Picture Rotationfunction.
If an afterimage occurs, use the White Pattern feature
immediately to repair the panel. The more severe the
afterimage, the longer the curing process may take.
The default on-time for White Pattern is 30 minutes.

White Pattern, the more likely it is that the panel can be
repaired.
Exit the White Pattern blank screen by pressing any
button on the remote control (except VOLUME, AUDIO
