LG 49LS73B User Guide

When the LCD panel displays a static image 

for an extended period of time, it can cause a 

voltage difference between the electrodes that 

operate the liquid crystals. When the voltage 

difference between the electrodes builds up 

over time, liquid crystals have a tendency to 

remain aligned in one direction. During this 

process, a previously displayed image remains 

visible. This phenomenon is referred to as 

image sticking.

1

  Change the background and the character 

colors using the same time interval.

When changing colors, using complementary 

colors helps to prevent image sticking.

2

  Change the image using the same time 

interval.

Make sure that the characters or images 

before changing the image remain in the same 

location after changing the image.

Image sticking does not occur when using constantly changing images but may occur when using 

a fixed image for an extended period of time. Therefore, it is recommended that you use the 

instructions below to decrease the likelihood of image sticking occurring when using a fixed image. 

It is recommended that you change the screen at least once every 

12 hours at the very minimum; if 

done more frequently, the prevention of image sticking is more effective.
