a system malfunction. LCD screens are made using highly precise
technology. However, a very small number of dark pixels or
continuously lit pixels exist on each screen. Also, a distorted image
may remain on the screen for several seconds after the system has
been turned off.

shadows on the graphics or the screen may appear darker than usual.

period of time. This may cause a faint image to be left permanently
on the screen.
