White spots or shadow images (noise)
●

There may be red spots, blue spots, green spots and black spots on the
screen
●
An image on a TV screen is created by many small groups of dots known
as pixels (which is similar to the image in a newspaper). It also naturally
follows that higher panel resolutions contain more pixels. To create a
colour image, each pixel consists of three tiny coloured dots (known as
sub-pixels), one each of red, green and blue. Each one of these dots is
precisely controlled by the electronics of the TV to produce the picture.
Whilst Panasonic maintains the highest standards in manufacturing
technology and processes in the construction of these panels, there are a
number of allowable pixel / subpixel failures that still allow the panel to be
defined as a good panel. It is not possible to guarantee absolutely no pixel
loss.

= Caution =
●
Do not use a hard cloth or rub the surface too hard, otherwise this may
cause scratches on the surface.
●
Take care not to subject the surfaces to insect repellent, solvent, thinner
or other volatile substances. This may degrade surface quality or cause
peeling of the paint.
●
The surface of the display panel is specially treated and may be easily
damaged. Take care not to tap or scratch the surface with your fingernail
or other hard objects.
●
Do not allow the cabinet and pedestal to make contact with a rubber or
PVC substance for a long time. This may degrade surface quality.
■ Mains plug

Wipe the mains plug with a dry cloth at regular intervals. Moisture and dust
