Introduction
Introduction
What is a Plasma Display Panel (PDP)?
If voltage is applied to gas within glass panels, ultraviolet rays are produced and fused with a fluorescent substance. At that instant, light is emitted. A Plasma Display is a next generation flat Display using this phenomenon.
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.
Wide Screen
The screen of the Plasma Display is 42" 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 TVs would not fit.
The PDP Manufacturing Process: Why 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 minute colored dots visible on the screen should be acceptable. This also occurs in other PDP manufacturers' products and 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 is designed to minimize cell defects during the manufacture and operation of this product.
Cooling Fan Noise
In the same way that a fan is used in a PC computer to keep the CPU (Central Processing Unit) cool, the PDP is equipped with cooling fans to cool the Monitor and improve its reliability. Therefore, a certain level of noise could occur while the fans are operating and cooling the PDP.
The fan noise doesn't have any negative effect on the PDP's efficiency or reliability. The noise from these fans is normal during the operation of this product. We hope you understand that a certain level of noise from the cooling fans is acceptable and is not sufficient cause for the PDP to be exchanged or returned.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE AND ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS PRODUCT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
