Do I really have to worry about burn-in or uneven aging if watching too much 4:3 material, or too much CNBC, etc. on an LED-backlit LCD TV?
I haven't been getting "burn in" or anything else on my plain-old LCD monitors....is LED backlit really more subject to burn-in and uneven-aging than plain old LCD with flourescent bulbs as the backlight?
From the user manual:
_____________________________________________________________
Wide screen format TVs (with 16:9 aspect ratios, the 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, with the images constantly in motion. Displaying stationary graphics and images on the screen, such as the dark sidebars on non-expanded
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 marketcrawls, video game displays, station logos, web sites or computer graphics
and patterns, should be limited as described above for all televisions. Displaying stationary images for more than 5% of total viewing time can cause
uneven aging of your TV and leave subtle, but permanent burned-in ghost images in the LED picture. To avoid this, vary the programming and images,
and primarily display full screen moving images, not stationary patterns ordark bars. On LED models that offer picture sizing features, use these controls
to view different formats as a full screen picture. Be careful in the selection of television formats you use for viewing and the amount of time you view them.
Uneven LED aging as a result of format selection and use, as well as burnedin images, are not covered by your Samsung limited warranty.
Still image warning
Avoid displaying still images (such as jpeg picture files), still image elements (such as TV channel logos, stock or news bars at the screen bottom etc.),
or programs in panorama or 4:3 image format on the screen. Constantly displaying still pictures can cause image burn-in on the screen, which will affect
image quality. To reduce risk of this effect, please follow the recommendations below:
• Avoid displaying the same TV channel for long periods.
• Always try to display a full screen image.
• Reduce brightness and contrast to avoid the appearance of after-images.
• Use all TV features designed to reduce image retention and screen burn.Refer to proper user manual section for details.
