Sun Group's Plasma TV has a VGA/RGB port connection so you can connect to your PC. The Plasma TV can also be used alone as your PC monitor, you can watch TV and use your PC at the same time. The onboard digital scaling engine accepts various computer signals and maps them to fit within 852 X 480 pixels. Compatible signals display resolutions up to 1280 X 1024.

Yes, our plasma TV's have a 15-Pin VGA input which will allows the user to connect the screen to a computer to be used as a computer monitor.

Typical old workstation monitors are not very practical PC display device because their limitations in supported scree modes. Typically it is possible to have one particular Microsoft Windows or X-windows (for Linux and Unix users) screen mode to work with that monitor, but there are many screen modes which the workstation monitor does not show.

Even though plasma TVs typically have a 160 degree viewing angle, tilt wall mounts may be purchased if the mantel is high. A tilt wall mount application will allow the user to tilt the unit from up to 15 to 25% vertically. With this mounting installation the user will have the choice between a flat or tilted affect while adding only 1.75 inches depth to the plasma TV. A flat wall mount can add as little as 1.25 inches to the depth. So, the difference is only half an inch.

r. Yes, plasma TVs are much better than the conventional TV for working as a PC monitor. Most plasma TVs have a digital scaling engine that accepts various computer signals and maps them out accordingly to your plasma screen, though you cannot use your PC and watch TV at the same time. r. Absolutely, the advantage of a flat screen is the abolishment of the distortion caused by the curvature of most conventional televisions.

No. Our TV Tuner is specially designed for use with our LCD/TV monitors. This is because it uses an integrated Plug-and-Play design, with the housing for the TV Tuner built-in on the monitor.

Yes, all plasma screens may be used as PC monitors if they have the right connections. However, most advise against using a large display like a 63" screen so close to your keyboard.

Gas plasma technology is a new way to build flat video and computer monitors. Essentially plasma units have the brightness and look of a CRT monitor, but they offer a much larger image and are thin enough and light enough to hang on any wall. This combination makes them ideal where lighting conditions would favor a monitor, but audience size indicates a projector. Like LCD displays, plasma monitors do not exhibit the distortion and loss of clarity in the corners inherent to CRTs.

Yes you can. Netpresenter is the only program that allows digital signage playback on TV/Plasma/LCD screens, with the TV Player, as well as on Desktops PC's using Screensaver and (Pop-up) Player.

The TV, Projection or Plasma display must have an analog component (YPrPb or RGB) or DVI digital input connection. Most standard TVs and projection TVs will most likely have analog connections, and many newer plasmas and LCD displays have DVI digital.

A Plasma TV is new type of flat screen display that uses new technology using plasma gas to illuminate a large number of light bulbs. Slim, slick, and larger in design, these futuristic looking TVs have almost lifelike images with their fantastic picture quality, and can hang on your wall like a picture.

It is possible to damage equipments when playing with PC vidoe hardware and workstation monitorts. If the monitor has standard video inputs, is workign properly, cable is properly constructed and everything is connected to properly grounded power outlet then the risk of damaging the graphics card is minimal. Some monitors can be damaged by sending wrong frequencies to them, so be sure that you send right frequencies to monitor.

Yes. Picture-in-Picture (PIP) allows you to watch two programs simultaneously with four selectable window positions. Picture-on-Picture (POP) allows you to watch two programs side by side. PIP/POP is available when your video source is set to TV, AV, S-Video, Component 1 or Component 2. For example, you can watch two analog TV programs simultaneously with PIP/POP by using the built-in TV tuner and an external tuner such as the one inside your VCR.

If you want the best picture possible, you can't go past a large screen CRT. If you want to drive into a TV, you should look at using a high definition TV or better still, a data monitor. Plasma's are good but will suffer from 'Screen Burn-In' from items on the screen that remain stationary for long periods. (eg; Nascar gear/speed indicator)

This happens to be one of the first questions that may arise in that these two terms are more often interchangeably used. Yet there is a basic difference between the two. A plasma display lacks an internal tuner and therefore, it is closer to a computer monitor than a television. The first plasmas that came out did not include a built-in tuner.

Support for dual-monitor systems was introduced with version 5.5. The program will detect dual-monitor systems by itself and accommodate its appearance automatically. You only have to position both screens so they are leveled at the top. Any other set up will cause the program's interactive desktop feature to not work correctly.

That is a decision for you. In a shop it is often a good idea to have what is known as confrontation monitor, this allows people to see immediately that they are being recorded.

The multisystem plasma TV is capable of playing a number of different formats, and connecting to a number of different broadcast signals. Digital TV, and high definition digital TV (HDTV), have been making major inroads into the world of broadcasting, and it is important for all television buyers to purchase a TV that is HDTV ready. Digital television provides a dramatic improvement in terms of both picture and sound quality compared to normal NTSC analog programming.

No, the Sony 50XBR950 does not have an HDMI connection, it has DVI instead. DVI is digital as well, but it is not as high as HDMI in bandwidth. It would only be a concern if the other components have HDMI. Since HDMI is backwards compatible with DVI, this should not be an issue either. Does the Sony KDE XBR950 61 inch plasma come with its own video scaler? If there is no in-built video scaler it may not be worth the money the set costs.

There is only one plasma TV maker that incorporates built in speakers into the plasma frame (Philips). Most manufacturers do however offer speakers as additional options which can be attached to the side of the plasma TV. Amplification of these speakers comes through built in 7 or 8 watt amplifiers which are built in to the side of the plasma display (this is plenty of wattage for excellent audio output).

Now you can! Some plasma displays can be used with PCs, but until now, you couldn't use your PC and watch TV on the same screen simultaneously.

Plasma television technology is based loosely on the fluorescent lightbulb. The display itself consists of cells. Within each cell two glass panels are separated by a narrow gap in which neon-xenon gas is injected and sealed in plasma form during the manufacturing process. The gas is electrically charged at specific intervals when the Plasma set is in use. the heart of the plasma TV are chemical compounds called phosphors.

Plasma TV's have a larger viewing angle, usually 160 degrees. The size of LCDs is limited and they use liquid crystals.

Some Plasmavision screens come with a built in tuner, these are denoted by a T as the middle of the three letter block in the model number. Other models will display a TV picture from a tuning device such as a Satellite, Cable or Freeview Set-top Box or an analogue TV tuner. To view the picture you simply need to connect the two devices together using the correct cable.

Probably, the greatest myth about plasma displays is that they only last two to three years. The truth is that present day plasma display panels have an expected half-lifetime of anything between 30,000hrs and 60,000hrs, which is substantially more than that of a traditional CRT TV.

Plasma screens offer a number of options in this respect - from standard floor stands, to wall mounts and even ceiling mounts. We suggest that you take a look at our article on how to install a plasma TV for more details on this issue.
