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 and is

or place objects on top of this TV set.

The image may be uneven or the

• If this TV set is used in a cold place,

a smear may occur in the picture or
