6 Plasma Monitor
Introduction
What is a Plasma Display Panel (PDP)?
A plasma display panel is the latest display technology and the best way to achieve flat panel displays with excellent image quality
and large screen sizes that are easily viewable. The PDP can be thought of as a descendant of the neon lamp and it can be also
be viewed as a series of fluorescent lamps.
How does it work?
PDP is an array of cells, known as pixels, which are comprised of 3 sub pixels, corresponding to the colors red, green, and blue.
Gas in a plasma state is used to react with phosphors in each sub-pixel 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.
You get the rich, dynamic colors that you expect. Each sub-pixel is individually controlled by advanced electronics to produce over
16 million different colors. All of this means that you get perfect images that are easily viewable in a display that is less than 5
inches thick.
160° - Wide angle range of vision
Your flat panel plasma screen offers an exceptionally broad viewing angle -- over 160 degrees. This means that the display is
clear and visible to viewers anywhere in the room who can see the screen.
Wide Screen
The screen of the Plasma Display is so wide that your viewing experience is as if you are in a theater.
Multimedia
Connect your plasma display to a PC and you can 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 monitors will
not fit.
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.

External Equipment Connections
NOTE: All cables shown are not included with the monitor.
- To avoid picture noise (interference), leave an adequate distance between the VCR and monitor.
- Use the ISM Method (on the Special menu) feature to avoid having a fixed image remain on the screen for a long period of
time. Typically a frozen still picture from a VCR. If the 4:3 picture format is used; the fixed images on the sides of the screen
may remain visible on the screen.
Connection Option
1. Connect the audio and video cables from the
VCR's output jacks to the set input jacks, as
shown in the figure.
When connecting the set to VCR, match the
jack colors (Video = yellow, Audio Left = white,
and Audio Right = red).
If you connect an S-VIDEO output from VCR to
the S-VIDEO input, the picture quality is
improved; compared to connecting a regular
VCR to the Video input.
2. Insert a video tape into the VCR and press
PLAY on the VCR. (Refer to the VCR owner’s
manual.)
3. Select the input source with using the INPUT
button on the remote control.
Do not connect to both Video and SVideo at the same time. In the event
that you connect both Video and the
S-Video cables, only the S-Video will
work.

How to connect
1. To get the best picture quality, adjust the PC
graphics card to 1024x768, 60Hz. But in
42PM3MV series, we recommend using 640x480,
60HZ for the PC mode.
2. Use the set’s RGB INPUT or HDMI/DVI (VIDEO)
INPUT port for video connections, depending on
your PC connector.
• If the graphic card on the PC does not output

another rate or adjust the brightness and contrast on the VIDEO menu until the picture is clear. If the refresh rate
of the PC graphic card can not be changed, change the PC graphic card or consult the manufacturer of the PC

-When you use too long RGB-PC cable, there might be a noise on the screen. We recommend using under 5m of
the cable. It provides the best picture quality.
