Plasma Display characteristics Caution: A video source (such as a video game, DVD, or video information channel) which shows a constant non-moving pattern on the screen, can cause damage to the screen. When your Flat-Monitor is continuously used with such a source, the pattern of the non-moving portion of the game (DVD, etc. ) could leave an image permanently on the screen. When not in use, turn the video source OFF. Regularly alternate the use of such video sources with normal viewing. When switching over to another picture after having displayed the same still picture for a long time (many hours), it may happen that some parts from the previous picture will remain on screen due to a kind of memory effect. This ghost picture will disappear after some time. To avoid this effect change the pictures regularly or for PC use you can turn on a screen saver in your computer. For video signals, Philips has built in an automatic shift of the picture every 5 minutes to avoid this effect and to prolong the life of the screen. Very incidentally and after a longer period of unuse (approx. 1 year) the screen may display some strange colour deficiencies. This is quite normal for plasma displays and these effects will 6 disappear after the set has been turned on for some time. A plasma display consists of a huge amount of colour pixels. It is within industry standards that very few pixels (< 0. 001%) may be defective, even for a new set.
