Introduction

What is a Plasma Display?

If voltage is inputted to gas in glass panels, ultraviolet rays are outputted and fused with a fluorescent substance. At this moment, light is emitted. A Plasma Display is a next generation flat Display using this phenomenon.

160° - Wide angle range of vision

A Plasma Display provides more than 160° angle range of vision so that you can get a picture without distortion from any direction.

Easy installation

A Plasma Display is much lighter and smaller than other same class products so that you can install the Plasma Display in the desired place.

Big screen

The screen of a Plasma Display is 42" (or 50") so that you can get vivid experience as if you are in a theater.

Multimedia Plasma Display

A Plasma Display can be connected with a computer so that you can use it as a screen for conference, game, internet and so on.

The explanation about coloured dots may be present on PDP screen

The PDP which is the display device of this product is composed of 0.9 to 2.2 million cells and a few cell defects can occur in the manufacture of the PDP. Several coloured dots visible on the screen would be acceptable, in line with other PDP manufacturers and would not mean that the PDP is faulty. We hope you will understand that the product which corresponds to this standard is regarded as acceptable. It means that it could not be changed or refunded. We promise that we'll do our best to develop our technology to minimize the cell defects.

The explanation about noise of 42" (or 50") PDP (option)

In the same way that a fan is used in a PC to keep the CPU cool, the PDP is equipped with cooling fans to improve the reliability of this product. Therefore, a certain level of noise could occur when the fan is operated. This noise doesn't have any negative effect on its efficiency and reliability and it's also determined to have no difficulty while using this product. The noise from the fans is normal in the operation of this product. We hope you will understand that a certain level of noise is acceptable. It means that it is not changeable nor refundable.

TO AVOID BURNING IMAGE INTO THE DISPLAY, DO NOT HAVE A STILL IMAGE ON SCREEN FOR EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. IMAGE AFTER BURN WILL NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY ie.Menus, Video games, Borders or LOGOS

WARNING

This is Class B product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE AND ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS PRODUCT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

To enjoy vivid picture and sound, connect a PC to the set.

  • Avoid keeping a fixed image on the set's screen for a long period of time. The fixed image may become permanently imprinted on the screen; use a screen saver when possible.
  • Connect PC to the RGB INPUT(PC INPUT) or HDMI INPUT(DIGITAL RGB INPUT) port of the set; change the resolution output of PC accordingly.
  • There might be noise according to some resolution, vertical pattern, contrast or brightness in PC mode. Change the PC mode into another resolution or change the refresh rate into another rate or adjust the brightness and contrast on the menu until the picture is clean. If the refresh rate of the PC graphic card can not be changed, change the PC graphic card or consult it to the manufacturer of the PC graphic card.
  • The synchronization input waveform for Horizontal and Vertical frequencies are separate.

Setup Instructions to Connect a PC to your set

  • We recommend using 1024x768, 60Hz for the PC mode, they provide the best picture quality.
    In 42PX3RV / 42PX2RV series, we recommend using 640x480, 60Hz for the PC mode, they provide the best picture quality.
  • If the resolution of PC is over UXGA, there will be no picture on the set.
  • Connect the signal cable from the monitor output port of the PC to the RGB INPUT port of the set or the signal cable from the HDMI output port of the PC to the HDMI INPUT port on the set.
  • Connect the audio cable from the PC to the Audio input on the set. (Audio cables are not included with the set).
  • If using a sound card, adjust PC sound as required.
  • This set uses a VESA Plug and Play Solution. The set provides EDID data to the PC system with a DDC protocol. The PC adjusts automatically to use this set.
  • DDC protocol is preset for RGB (Analog RGB), HDMI (Digital RGB) mode.
  • If required, adjust the settings for Plug and Play functionally.
  • If graphics card on the PC does not output analog and digital RGB simultaneously, connect only one of RGB INPUT or HDMI INPUT to display the PC on the set.

If graphic card on the PC does output analog and digital RGB simultaneously, set the set to either RGB or HDMI; (the other mode is set to Plug and Play automatically by the set.)

- DOS mode may not work depending on video card if you use a HDMI to DVI cable.
