The LCD TV has pixels that are always bright, dark, or colored
Your LCD TV is manufactured using an extremely high level of precision 
technology. However, sometimes some pixels of your LCD TV may not 
display correctly. Pixel defects within industry specifications are inherent 
to this type of product and do not constitute a defective product.
You see “noise” or “trash” on the screen
When your LCD TV’s digital capabilities exceed a digital broadcast signal, 
the signal is up-converted (increased) to match your LCD TV’s display 
capabilities. Up-converting can cause noise or trash.
Screen brightness is diminished
Video display devices experience degradation of brightness over the life of 
the device. Normal brightness degradation is not covered by your warranty.
Telephone support
If this troubleshooting information does not resolve your problem or if you 
have other questions relating to your LCD TV, call our Service Center at
