Important Tip
Image Retention Effect (Image Sticking)
1. Cause :
- Image Retention Effect may come from displaying a still picture in certain period of time with at a
certain area continuously, as the feature of LCD panel. This is caused due to brightness degradation.
Many LCD manufacturers are trying to overcome this limitation.
2. Prevention
- To avoid this matter, use the product after reducing brightness and contrast, especially when a still
image is displaying for a long time. (Contrast 50/Brightness 50 - See 32 page)
Once image retention occurs, use the mode that displays more motion pictures. It will help reduce this
matter.
3. Solution
- The temporary image sticking would decrease with displaying Full-White pattern during 10 hours.
* The permanent image sticking could not take off under the latest technology.
This method may be used to eliminate a temporary retained image that occurs after displaying a still
image for a certain period of time. Since it may take several minutes to several hours to remove image
sticking, it is recommendable to display motion pictures during 2~3 minutes every hour when keeping
displaying a still image. As image sticking is influenced by the brightness of a still image being
displayed and its display time, it is recommended that you reduce the brightness of the screen when
displaying a still image for a long time.
* Image Sticking does not come under the warranty.
