The normal use of a TV should include a mixture of TV picture types. The most frequently used picture types
should fill the screen with constantly moving images rather than stationary images or patterns. Displaying the same
stationary patterns over extended periods of time or displaying the same stationary pattern frequently can leave
subtle but permanent ghost images. To avoid this, mix your viewing patterns. Reducing the initial contrast level can
help slow the aging process. Do not show the same stationary image for more than 15% of your total TV viewing in
any given week. Display constantly moving and changing images that fill the screen whenever possible.

This projection TV uses picture tubes to project the image to the screen. All picture tubes age with use. As they age,
their light output is gradually reduced. Normal TV pictures fill the screen with constantly changing images. Under
these conditions, picture tubes age at an even rate across the entire screen. This maintains a TV picture that is
evenly bright over the whole screen. Stationary images or images that only partially fill the screen (leaving black
or colored bars to fill the screen), when used over extended periods of time or when viewed repeatedly, can cause
uneven aging of the phosphors and leave subtle ghosts from the stationary images in the picture.
