Precautions When Displaying a Still Image  
A still image may cause permanent damage to the TV screen  
Do not display still image and partially still 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.

Using Your TV as a Computer (PC) Display  
Setting Up Your PC Software (Based on Windows XP)  
The Windows display-settings for a typical computer are shown below. The actual screens on  
your PC will probably be different, depending upon your particular version of Windows and

set-up information will apply in almost all cases. (If not, contact your computer manufacturer or  
Samsung Dealer.)  
ꢀ. First, click on ‘Control Panel’ on the Windows start menu.  
ꢁ. When the control panel window appears, click on ‘Appearance and Themes’ and a display  
dialog-box will appear.  
3. When the control panel window appears, click on ‘Display’ and a display dialogbox will  
appear.  
4. Navigate to the ‘Settings’ tab on the display dialog-box.  
The correct size setting (resolution) - Optimum: 1360 X 768 pixels  
If a vertical-frequency option exists on your display settings dialog box, the correct  
value is ‘60’ or ‘60 Hz’. Otherwise, just click ‘OK’ and exit the dialog box.  
Display Modes
