This number is unique to this unit and notavailable to others. You should record requested information here and retain this guide as a permanent record ofyour purchase.Model No. ___________________________________Serial No. ___________________________________Manufacturing Process-- Why colored dots may be present on the screen:The plasma display panel is composed of up to 2.2 million cells. A few cell defects normally occur in the manufac-turing process, meaning that several colored dots visible on the screen should be acceptable. This also occurs inother manufacturers' products and the dots appearing does not mean that this product is defective. Thus a few celldefects are not sufficient cause for the display to be exchanged or returned. Please note that our production tech-nology is designed to minimize cell defects.

Owner’s Manual 7IntroductionIntroductionYour new LG plasma display is an ultra-slim, super-fast digital monitor with incredibly sharp graphic images in over16 million colors. What is a Plasma Display Panel (PDP)?Plasma technology gives you the rich color of conventional (CRT) monitors in a large display that is thin enough tohang on the wall. The PDP operates by passing electricity through neon gas, causing it to become charged and pro-duce light. Inside the plasma panel a series of red, green, and blue cells are grouped in a precise matrix. Thesecells are individually controlled by advanced electronics to produce over 16 million different colors. The displayoperates at a high voltage, low current, and low temperature, resulting in a long operating lifetime. FeaturesThis LG plasma display features stunningly high brightness, a slim design and is capable of displaying digital TVsignals.160° - Wide angle range of visionYour flat panel plasma screen offers an exceptionally broad viewing angle -- over 160 degrees. This means that thedisplay is clear for audience members anywhere in the room. Wide ScreenThe 42" screen gives you a vivid home theater experience and displays 16:9, 4:3, and ZOOM picture formats. MultimediaConnect your plasma display to a PC and you can use it for conferencing, games, and internet browsing. ThePicture-in-Picture feature 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 conven-tional displays don’t fit.
