INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
What is a Plas a TV ?
Using plasma is the best way to achieve flat panel
displays with excellent image quality and large
screen sizes that are easily viewable. The Plasma TV
can be thought of as a descendant of the neon
lamp and or a series of fluorescent lamps.
How does it work?
Plasma TV is an array of cells, known as pixels, which
are comprised of three sub-pixels, corresponding to
the colors red, green, and blue. Gas in a plasma
state is used to react with phosphors in each sub-
pixel to produce colored light (red, green, or blue).
These phosphors are the same types used in
Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) devices such as televisions
and common computer monitors.
Plasma TV offers a rich, dynamic display because
each sub-pixel is individually controlled by advanced
electronics to produce over 16 million different col-
ors. This means that you get perfect images that are
easily viewable in a display that is fewer than five
inches thick.
160° - Wide angle range of vision
Your flat panel plasma screen offers an exceptionally
broad viewing angle of over 160 degrees. This
means that the display is clear and visible to viewers
anywhere in the room.
Wide Screen
The wide screen offers a theater-like experience in
your own home.
Multi edia
Connect your plasma display to a PC and 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 do not fit.
The Plas a TV Manufacturing Process: a few
inute colored dots ay be present on the
Plas a TV screen
The Plasma TV is composed of 0.9 to 2.2 million
cells. A few cell defects will normally occur in the
Plasma TV manufacturing process. Several tiny,
minute colored dots visible on the screen should be
acceptable. This also occurs in other Plasma TV
manufacturers' products. The tiny dots appearing
does not mean that this Plasma TV is defective.
Thus a few cell defects are not sufficient cause for
the Plasma TV to be exchanged or returned. Our
production technology minimizes these cell defects
during the manufacture and operation of this product.
FOR LCD TV
If the TV feels cold to the touch, there may be a
small “flicker” when it is turned on. This is normal,
there is nothing wrong with TV.
Some minute dot defects may be visible on the
screen, appearing as tiny red, green, or blue spots.
However, they have no adverse effect on the moni-
tor's performance.
Avoid touching the LCD screen or holding your finger(s)
against it for long periods of time. Doing so may pro-
duce some temporary distortion effects on the screen.
