This is the characteristic of liquid crystal panels. The
liquid crystal panel is built with very high precision
technology. Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may
appear on the screen as points of red, green, blue or
black. This does not affect the performance of your TV
and it is not a quality problem.
Parts of the TV become hot
Î
Even if the temperature of parts of the front, top and
rear panels has risen, these temperature rises do not
cause any problems in terms of performance or quality.
The LCD panel moves slightly when it is
pushed with a finger
Chaotic image, noisy
Set [P-NR] in the Picture Menu to remove noise
