The explanation about why colored dots may be present on PDP screen

The PDP which is the display device of this product is composed of 0.9 to 2.2 million cells. A few cell defects may occur in the manufacturing process of the PDP. Several colored dots visible on the screen would be acceptable, in line with other PDP manufacturers and would not mean that the PDP is faulty. We hope you will understand that the product, which corresponds to this standard, is regarded as acceptable. It means that it can not be changed or refunded because of a few cell defects.

We promise that we'll do our best to develop our technology to minimize the cell defects.
