Introduction

What is a Plasma Displiay Panel (PDP)?

If voffage 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 fiat Display using this phenomenon,

160 ° - Wide angle range of vision
Your fiat panel plasma screen offers an exceptionaiBybroad 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 tile 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 us it for conferencing games _d internet browsing The Picture-in-Picture

feature atJowsyou to view your PC and video images simultaneously,

Versatile

The _ightweight and thin size makes it easy to installyour ptasma display in a variety of tocations where conventiona_ TVs wiiQnot
fit,

The PDP Manufacturing Process: Why minute colored dots may be present on the PDP screen
The PDP (PJasma Display PaneO which is the display device of this product is composed of 0.9 to 2,2 million celts Afew cell

defects wi[_ normatEy occur in the PDP manufacturing process. SeveraJ minute coUored dots visible on the screen should be accept-
able, This also occurs in other PDP manufacturers' products and the tiny dots appearing does not mean that this PDP is defective,
Thus a few ceil defects are not sufficient cause for the PDP to be exchanged or returned Our production technology is designed
to minimize celt defects during the manufacture and operation of this product

Cooling Fan Noise
in the s_e way that a fan is used in a PC computer to keep the CPU (Central Processing Unit) cool_ tl_e PDP is equipped w_h

cooling f_s to cool the Monitor and improve its reliabii_y Therefore a certain leve_ of noi_ couid occur while the fans are operat =

ing and cooming the PDP.

The fan noise deesn't have any negative effect on the PDP's efficiency or re{iability, The noise from these fans is normal dudng the
operation of this product, We hope you understand that a certain teve_ of noise from the cooling fans is acceptable and is not suffi-

cient cause for the PDP to be exchanged or returned,
