Dear Customer;

This appliance is manufactured with TFT LCD Display technology.

An image is created with colour light points call LCD pixels in TFT-LCD appliances.

Each pixel consists of 3 sub-pixels [fixed colour (red, green, blue) light points].

VESTEL 42PF5040 - DIMENSIONS (mm) - 1

text_image alt-piksel alt-piksel alt-piksel R G B

VESTEL 42PF5040 - DIMENSIONS (mm) - 2

text_image RGB piksel

As a requirement of production technologies, the abovementioned sub-pixels may cause "sub-pixel errors" by way of lighting continuously or remaining dim continuously.

Please consider the following explanation about a possible sub-pixel error.

This problem can be encountered during the production phase as well as during use.

Sub-pixel errors are mainly 2 types.

Type 1 : The sub-pixel lighting continuously (may be red, green or blue)

Type 2 : The sub-pixel which is continuously dim (seems black)

The sub-pixel errors determined according to the ISO 13406-2 standard are given in the following table.

TypeExplanationQuantityNote
Type 1Random (at 5 mm or higher intervals)2Within the compass of the criterion, not intervened
Adjacent 2 pixels1Within the compass of the criterion, not intervened
Adjacent 3 or more pixelsOff-criterion
Type 2Random (at 5 mm or higher intervals)7Within the compass of the criterion, not intervened

IMPORTANT WARNINGS

1. Rights reserved by the manufacturer:

The manufacturer reserves the right to change the features stated in the product or in the user's manual of the product without giving any information, when required by the improvements in technology.

2. Warnings about Screen Technology:

Due to TFT and Plasma technologies, there may be inactive or continuously shining white, red or blue pixels in the screen. This does not affect the performance of the product, and it is not a failure. The related details are given in the related pages of the user's manual. The manufacturer does not have any responsibility in the cases within the compass of the criteria.

3. A continuous fixed image on the screen:

Due to TFT and Plasma technologies, “burning” effect may arise in the screen after a continuous fixed image on the screen, displaying the same background continuously or watching a 4:3 video on a 16:9 television for a long time. In order to avoid this effect, it is highly recommended that you follow the followings.

  • Do not watch a fixed image continuously.
  • Do not watch videos in the format of 4:3 in your television which supports the format of 16:9.
  • Try to use contrast and brightness at a minimum level.

4. In Full HD products;

The expected performance may not be achieved in TV broadcasts and the broadcasts of satellite receivers which are not supported by other sources in terms of high definition, DVD players or cable television; and in these broadcasts, mosaic images may occur, sharpness and resolution of the image may be low; some effects may arise on the screen. This is not a failure. It is advisable to watch high definition broadcasts for your TV which supports high definition (1920x1080) to work with a high performance as a requirement of the Full HD technology. The expected performance may not be achieved in TV broadcasts and the broadcasts of satellite receivers which are not supported by other sources in terms of high definition, DVD players or cable television; and in these broadcasts, mosaic images may occur, sharpness and resolution of the image may be low; some effects may arise on the screen. This is not a failure. If your appliance supports high definition, it is recommended that you use high definition broadcast sources in order to achieve a high screen performance as a requirement of the high definition (HD) technology.

5. About Working Sound of the Appliance:

A working sound may be generated in the electronic circuits in your appliance as a requirement of its technology depending on the current on it while running or in standby status. This sound can sometimes be heard depending on the sensitivity of human ear and watching distance although it is within the compass of the standards. This sound does not affect the performance of your appliance and it is not a failure.

6. Make sure that the panel (screen) of your appliance is never subjected to any external mechanical impact:

The panels (screens) of the TFT-LCS televisions are not only a piece of glass; on the contrary they are composed of layers. If your appliance is damaged in its panel (screen) which is the front part by an external impact, the inner layer of the screen might be broken / cracked even when no break/crack arises in the layer of the screen which is the closest to the outer environment. This can be technically detected by the authorized service. Therefore, make sure that the panel (screen) of your appliance is never subjected to any external mechanical impact. Otherwise, as any damage “caused by an external hit” is considered as a usage error, the manufacturer will not have any legal responsibility.

7. About the use of the appliance:

The appliance you purchased was produced for home-type use, and it can be used only at home and for the specified purposes, not for commercial or collective use. Otherwise, the manufacturer and the dealer will not be responsible for the failures within the period of warranty and free repair, which is determined in the provisions of the Act on the Protection of Consumers.
