INTRODUCTION

What is a Plasma TV?

Using plasma is the best way to achieve flat panel displays with excellent image quality and large screen sizes that are easily viewable. The Plasma TV can be thought of as a descendant of the neon lamp and or a series of fluorescent lamps.

How does it work?

Plasma TV is an array of cells, known as pixels, which are comprised of three sub-pixels, corresponding to the colors red, green, and blue. Gas in a plasma state is used to react with phosphors in each subpixel to produce colored light (red, green, or blue). These phosphors are the same types used in Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) devices such as televisions and common computer monitors.

Plasma TV offers a rich, dynamic display because each sub-pixel is individually controlled by advanced electronics to produce over 16 million different colors. This means that you get perfect images that are easily viewable in a display that is fewer than five inches thick.

160° - Wide angle range of vision

Your flat panel plasma screen offers an exceptionally broad viewing angle of over 160 degrees. This means that the display is clear and visible to viewers anywhere in the room.

Official term for an HDTV that conforms to the plug- and-play digital cable TV standard using POD (Point of Deployment) access cards, also called CableCARDs, that allow users to plug the cable directly into an HDTV set and enjoy HDTV and digital cable without having to use a separate set-top box.

Wide Screen

The wide screen offers a theater-like experience in your own home.

Multimedia

Connect your plasma display to a PC and use it for conferencing, games, and Internet browsing. The Picture-in-Picture feature allows you to view your PC and video images simultaneously.

Versatile

The light weight and thin size makes it easy to install your plasma display in a variety of locations where conventional TVs do not fit.

The Plasma TV Manufacturing Process: a few minute colored dots may be present on the Plasma TV screen

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