Question:

 

What is the purpose of the Auto Protection feature and what are its available settings? How does it affect image retention on the TV screen?

Answer:

 

The Auto Protection feature aims to prevent image retention on the TV screen by turning off the TV if it detects that the same issue has been displayed on the screen for a specific duration. For instance, if the feature is configured for 2 hours and a video game is left paused for 2 hours, the TV will automatically shut down. This helps avoid potential image retention issues.

 

There are five settings for the Auto Protection feature:

 

Off - Disables the Auto Protection feature.

2 Hours - Activates the feature for a 2-hour duration.

4 Hours - Activates the feature for a 4-hour duration.

8 Hours - Activates the feature for a 8-hour duration.

10 Hours - Activates the feature for a 10-hour duration.

Please note that leaving any image on the TV for more than 4 hours might result in an afterimage or image retention. As a result, setting the Auto Protection feature to Off, 4 Hours, 8 Hours, or 10 Hours is not recommended. It's best to use either the 2 Hour setting or disable the feature entirely if necessary.
