6 Plasma MonitorIntroductionIntroductionIntroductionFeatures Of This MonitorFeatures Of This MonitorWhat is a Plasma Monitor ?If voltage is applied to gas within glass panels, ultraviolet rays are produced and fused with a fluorescent substance. At thatinstant, light is emitted. A Plasma Display is a next generation flat Display using this phenomenon. 160° - Wide angle range of visionYour flat panel plasma screen offers an exceptionally broad viewing angle -- over 160 degrees. This means that the display isclear and visible to viewers anywhere in the room. Wide ScreenThe screen of the Plasma Display is 71" so wide that your viewing experience is as if you are in a theater.MultimediaConnect your plasma display to a PC and you can use it for conferencing, games, and internet browsing. The Picture-in-Picturefeature allows you to view your PC and video images simultaneously.VersatileThe light weight and thin size makes it easy to install your plasma display in a variety of locations where conventional TVs wouldnot fit.The Plasma Monitor Manufacturing Process: Why minute colored dots may be present on the PlasmaMonitor screenThe 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 willnormally occur in the Plasma Monitor manufacturing process. Several minute colored dots visible on the screen should be accept-able. This also occurs in other Plasma Monitor manufacturers' products and the tiny dots appearing does not mean that thisPlasma Monitor is defective. Thus a few cell defects are not sufficient cause for the Plasma Monitor to be exchanged or returned.Our production technology is designed to minimize cell defects during the manufacture and operation of this product. Cooling Fan NoiseIn the same way that a fan is used in a PC computer to keep the CPU (Central Processing Unit) cool, the Plasma Monitor isequipped with cooling fans to cool the Monitor and improve its reliability. Therefore, a certain level of noise could occur while thefans are operating and cooling the Plasma Monitor.The fan noise doesn't have any negative effect on the Plasma Monitor's efficiency or reliability. The noise from these fans is nor-mal during the operation of this product. We hope you understand that a certain level of noise from the cooling fans is acceptableand is not sufficient cause for the Plasma Monitor to be exchanged or returned.
