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. 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 who can see the screen anywhere in the room.
Wide Screen
The screen of the Plasma Display is wide so 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 minutes 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 operat-
ing 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 suffi-
cient cause for the PDP to be exchanged or returned.

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 connection. If
