Although the LCD screen is made with high-precision  
technology and 99.99% or more of the pixels are  
effective, black dots may appear or bright points of light  
(red, blue, or green) may appear constantly on the LCD  
screen. This is a structural property of the LCD screen

top of this TV set. The image may be uneven or the LCD  
screen may be damaged.  
If this TV set is used in a cold place, a smear may occur  
in the picture or the picture may become dark. This does  
not indicate a failure. These phenomena disappear as the  
temperature rises.

continuously. It may disappear after a few moments.  
The screen and cabinet get warm when this TV set is in  
use. This is not a malfunction.

be replaced by qualified service staff only. To ensure that  
the battery will be treated properly, hand over the product  
at end-of-life to the applicable collection point for the  
recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. For all
