Introduction
What is a Plasma Display Panel (PDP)?
If voltage is applied to gas w_thinglass panels ultraviolet rays are produced and fused with a fluorescent substance At that
instant, _ightis emitted A P{asma Display is a next generation fiat Display using this phenomenon.
160 ° - Wide angle range of vision
Your featpane_plasma screen offers an exceptionally broad viewing angle _-over 160 degrees, This means that the display is
clear and visible to viewers who can see the screen anywhere in the room
Wide Screen
The screen of tl_e Plasma DispUayis 60" 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 intemet browsing The Pictureqn-Picture
feature atlows you to view your PC and video images simultaneously.

The PDP Manufacturing Process: Why minute colored dots may be present on the PDP screen
The PDP (Piasma Display Panel) which is the display device of this product is composed of 0.9 to 2,2 million ceils. A few cell
defects will normatly occur in the PDP manufacturing process, Severa_ minute colored dots visible on the screen shouid 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 technogogy is designed
to minimize cett defects dunng 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 w_h
cooling fans to cool the Monitor and improve its reHabil_y. Therefore, a certain leve_ of noise could occur wNe the fans are operat-
ing and cooming the PDP.
The fan noise _esn3 have any negative effect on the PDP's efficiency or reliability, The noise from these fans is normal dudng the
operation of this produ_, We hope you understand that a certain leve_ of noise from the cooling fans is acceptable and is not suffi-
cient cause for the PDP to be exchanged or returned.
