Due to the characteristics of the material used in the
OLED panel, permanent burn-in or reduction in
brightness may occur.
These problems are not a malfunction.
Images that may cause burn-in
Still images in the HDR display
Masked images with aspect ratios other than 16:9
Color bars or images that remain static for a long time
Character or message displays that indicate settings or
the operating state
On-screen displays such as center markers or area
markers
