Introduction

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. APlasma 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 who can see the screen anywhere in the room.

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 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.

RGB or DVI jack for video connections, depending on
your set-top box connector. Then, make the corre­sponding audio connections.

How to use

PC Setup

PC Setup

- This monitor provides Plug and Play capability, meaning that the PC adjusts automatically to its settings. The monitor sends
configuration information (EDID) to the PC using the Video Electronics Standard Association (VESA) Display Data Channel
(DDC) protocol.

- The monitor perceives 640x480, 60Hz as DTV 480p based on the PC graphic card. In this case, change the screen scanning
rate for the graphic card.

How to connect

1. To get the best picture quality, adjust the PC

graphics card to 1024x768, 60Hz. Resolutions
over UXGA cannot be displayed.

2. Use the monitor’s RGB INPUT or DVI (Digital

Visual Interface) INPUT port for video connections,
depending on your PC connector.

If the graphic card on the PC does not output ana­log and digital RGB simultaneously, connect only
one of either RGB INPUT or DVI INPUT to display

the PC on the monitor.
If the graphic card on the PC does output analog
and digital RGB simultaneously, set the monitor to
either RGB or DVI; (the other mode is set to Plug
and Play automatically by the monitor.)

3. Then, make the corresponding audio connections.
If using a sound card, adjust the PC sound as
required.

How to use

1. Turn on the PC and the monitor.

2. Turn on the display by pressing the POWER button on the monitor's remote control.

3. Use the INPUT SELECT button on the remote control to select RGB or DVI.

4. Check the image on your monitor. There may be noise associated with the resolution, vertical pattern, contrast or
brightness in PC mode. If noise is present, change the PC mode to another resolution, change the refresh rate to
another rate or adjust the brightness and contrast on the 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 graphic card.

NOTES: • Depending on the graphics card, DOS mode may not work if you use a DVI-I cable.

• Avoid keeping a fixed image on the monitor's screen for a long period of time. The fixed image may become

permanently imprinted on the screen. Use the screen saver when possible.

• The synchronization input form for Horizontal and Vertical frequencies is separate.

Maintenance

- Early malfunctions can be prevented. Careful and regular cleaning can extend the amount of time you will have your
new Monitor. Be sure to turn the power off and unplug the power cord before you begin any cleaning.

Cleaning the Screen

Cleaning the Screen

1. Here’s a great way to keep the dust off your screen for a while. Wet a soft cloth in a mixture of lukewarm water and
a little fabric softener or dish washing detergent. Wring the cloth until it’s almost dry, and then use it to wipe the
screen.

2. Make sure the excess water is off the screen, and then let it air-dry before you turn on your Monitor.

Cleaning the Cabinet

Cleaning the Cabinet

To remove dirt or dust, wipe the cabinet with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
