Note: The PDP Manufacturing Process: a few minute colored dots may be

present on the PDP screen
The PDP (Plasma Display Panel), which is the display device of this
product is composed of 0.9 to 2.2 million cells. A few cell defects will normally
occur in the PDP manufacturing process. Several tiny, minute colored dots
visible on the screen should be acceptable. This also occurs in other PDP
manufacturers' products. The tiny dots appearing does not mean that this
PDP is defective. Thus a few cell defects are not sufficient cause for the PDP
to be exchanged or returned. Our production technology minimizes these cell
defects during the manufacture and operation of this product.
