What is pixel shifting?
Pixel shifting is a feature in Samsung plasma displays that prevents static images (e.g., station bugs) from causing image retention and burn-in. The entire video frame is moved periodically so there are effectively no static images. One[1] definition reads: “the image rotates in a circle in a way imperceptible to the viewer with a defined rhythm and pixel interval.” Basically, the firmware moves the video horizontally and vertically so many pixels every n minutes. You can define the number of pixels moved and their interval using the pixel-shifting parameters in the setup menu It should be noted that pixel shifting is DISABLED while using “Just Scan” mode. This is because “Just Scan” displays pixels exactly as delivered from the source. For HD broadcasts where pixel shifting is desired (due to channel logo, etc) use “16:9” setting.
