' 'm FormatViewing
Wide screen format PDP Displays (16:9,the aspect ratio of the screen width to height) are primarily
designed to view wide screen format full-motion video. The images displayed on them should primarily be
in the wide screen 16:9 ratio format, or expanded to fill the screen if your model offers this feature and the
images are constantly moving. Displaying stationary graphics and images on screen, such as the dark
side-bars on nonexpanded standard format television video and programming, should be limited to no
more than 5% of the total television viewing per week.
Additionally, viewing other stationary images and text such as stock market reports, video game
displays,station Iogos,web sites or computer graphics and patterns,should be limited as described above
for all televisions. Displaying stationary
images that exceed the above guidelines can
cause uneven aging of PDP Displays that leave subtle, but permanent
burned-in
ghost images in the PDPpicture.
To avoid this, vary the programming
and images,
and primarily
display full screen moving images,not stationary
patterns or dark bars.
On PDP models that offer picture sizing features,use these controls to view different formats as a full screen
picture.
Be careful in the selection and duration of television formats used for viewing. Uneven PDPaging as a
result of format selection and use,as well as burned-in images, are not covered by your Samsung limited
warranty.
UserInstructions
O Screen Image retention
Do not display a still image (such as on a video game or when hooking up a PC to this PDP) on the plasma
display panel for more than several minutes as it can cause screen image retention. This image retention is
also known as "screen burn". To avoid such image retention, refer to page 40 of this manual to reduce the
degree of brightness and contrast of this screen when displaying a still image.
@ Cell Defect
The plasma display panel consists of fine cells. Although the panels are produced with more than 99.9
percent active cells, there may be some cells that do not produce light or remain lit.
@ Altitude
The PDPwill not operate normally at altitudes above 6500 ft.
@ Warranty
Warranty does not cover any damage caused by image retention.
Burn-inis not covered by the warranty.

Memorlzlnl
Your PDP can memorize and store all of the available channels for both "off-air"
(antenna) and cable channels. After the available channels are memorized, use the
CH/_. and CH v buttons to scan through the channels. This eliminates the need to
change channels by entering the channel digits. There are three steps for memorizing
channels: selecting a broadcast source, memorizing the channels (automatic) and
adding and deleting channels (manual).

Our adoption of the new VESA® Plug and Play solution eliminates complicated and time consuming
setup. It allows you to install your monitor in a Plug and Play compatible system, without the usual
setup hassles and confusion. Your PC system can easily identify and configure itself for use with your
display. This monitor automatically tells the PC system its Extended Display Identification data (EDID)
using Display Data Channel (DDC) protocols.
