What is a plasma television verses a plasma monitor?
A plasma television is technically not a television, it is a monitor
because it does not have a built in tuner. A turner is a device that
allows the user to select different television channels and turns the
monitor into a plasma television. There are a number of different
devices that can be connected to a plasma television that can be used as
a turner, such as a VCR, cable box, or satellite decoder box.
A plasma television has a number of advantages over other TV sets. A
plasma television is extremely thin (about 3.5 inches) and will fit into
spaces that other TVs would be to deep. A plasma television is also
lighter. Combining the size and weight a plasma television can be
located in almost any location.
The future of TV/video is in the wide screen digital format. This is
the proper aspect ratio for HDTV and DVD-Video movies. You can watch
movies the way they were to be viewed, in wide screen, as they are in
the theater. Just as there are a number of different devices that can be
used as a turner a plasma television will accept a number of different
signals such as HDTV, DTV, DVD-Video, digital satellite and most
computer resolutions. By purchasing a new plasma television monitor your
are ready for the future.

What is a plasma
display?
Plasma technology is different from that used in other display systems
in that red, green and blue lights are created in every pixel, reducing
the need for space. Charged electrodes between glass panels cause tiny
pockets of inert gas to change a state of plasma. This process causes UV
light to be produced, which in turn reacts with the red, green, and blue
phosphors in each pixel to produce visible light.
Unlike traditional displays, where the image is scanned across the
screen, in plasma displays all pixels are "lit" at once. Having no
electron beam, back lighting or light polarization, the image is
inherently sharper and brighter. Perfect from edge to edge.

The Basic Stuff on Plasma TV
Plasma TVs are the
latest display technology and the best way to achieve flat panel
displays with excellent image quality and large screen sizes viewable in
any environment. Plasma Screen TVs are an array of cells, known as
pixels, which are composed of 3 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 conventional cathode ray tube
(CRT) devices such as televisions and standard computer monitors. You
get the rich, dynamic colors you expect. Each subpixel is individually
controlled by advanced electronics to produce over 16 million different
colors. All of this means that you get perfect images that are easily
viewable in a display that is less than 6 inches thick.

Plasma TV Applications
Home Theater
- A plasma TV is ideal for the home theater enthusiants who want the
best possible picture and space saving design. Plasma Displays are
rapidly becoming the central entertainment center for home. The
versatility and capabilities to connect to HDTV, DVD, Computers, and
video games are making plasma tvs the replacement of the "BIG" tv.
Trade Shows and Events - Plasma displays make meeting
rooms PC friendly for vistors and are impressive for presentations and
demos.
Boardrooms and Corporate Lobbies- The high tech look
will be sure to impress customers, while serving the dual purpose of
making your executives more effective during meetings and presentations.
Advertising - Plasma is the ultimate high tech tool to
display your company's products, services, or events in a visually
appealing technology. Unlike light boxes, which require static duratrans,
these flat displays can show presentations or live video, making for a
more informative and effective method of communicating with customers.
Video
Conferencing
- Many companies use projectors with video conferencing. Projectors
require dark rooms to produce vibrant images. Video conferencing cameras
require bright rooms to pick up images. These two technologies
contradict each other. Because of its performance in ambient light,
plasma is the ideal display system for video conferencing.
