If you want to compare the
sound of a TV at a store, take a DVD movie there and play a rather
hectic and loud scene in a DVD player connected to the same TV you want
to compare.
4:3 image management
As with rear-projection TVs and
widescreen direct-view sets, plasma monitors add zoom and stretch
features to fill the entire widescreen panel with 4:3 ratio images; this
still requires some type of image chopping or image distortion.
Do not overload electrical
outlets
Never put to work any wall
outlet or extension cord further than their standing power limits, doing
so, the electrical source turns into a highly electrical hazard able to
cause melting outlets, fire and even possible accidental death.
:: General tips ::
Plasma TVs are just monitors
As LCD TVs, plasma TVs are just
monitors that display a video signal; to enjoy High-Definition
broadcasting on a plasma display, the display must be connected to an
external HD decoder box or Set-Top-Box if it does not have an internal
HD decoder.
Avoid permanent screen damages
Be careful!!! Bright or static
still images left on-screen for a long period of time may leave a
permanently unwanted see-through watermark like shape on plasma
displays; this disadvantage applies to all plasma monitors of any brand
or price.
