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.

WARNING

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