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. TMs means that the dispUay i,,
clear and visible to viewers anywhere in the room.
Wide Screen
The screen of the 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 use itfor conferencing_ games, and internet browsing_ The PictureqmPict_
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 w
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 09 to 22 million cells, A few cel
defects wilt normally occur in the PDP manufacturing process. Several minute colored dots visible on the screen should be a
able. This atso occurs in other PDP manufacturers' products and the tiny dots appearing does not mean that this PDP is def_
Thus a few cell defects are not sufficient cause for the PDP to be exchanged or returned Our production technology is desi£
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 (Centrat Processing Unit) cool, the PDP is equipped v
cooling fans to cool the Monitor and improve its reliability_ Therefore, a certain _evel of noise could occur while the fans are o{
ing and cooling the PDR
The fan noise doesn't have any negative effect on the PDP's efficiency or reliability. The noise from these fans is normal dud
operation of this product. We hope you understand that a certain level of noise from the cooling fans is acceptabie and is no1
cient cause for the PDP to be exchanged or returned
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RiSK OF FIRE AND ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THiS PRODUCT TO
RAiN OR MOISTURE.
