1 Press the (Quick Settings) button on the remote control, then select
[Settings] — [Display & Sound] — [Expert panel settings] — [Panel refresh].

Hint
[Pixel shift] is a feature that helps prevents image retention by automatically moving
the image at fixed intervals. Under normal circumstances, keep this option enabled.
To reduce image retention, we recommend that you turn off the TV on a daily basis
for more than four hours using the remote control or the power button on the TV.

Note
Manually perform panel refresh only when image retention is particularly noticeable.
Avoid performing it more than once a year because it may affect the usable life of
the panel.
Images that include clocks and bright colors easily cause image retention. Avoid
displaying these types of images for long periods of time, otherwise image retention
may occur.
