Summary

This is a 65 inch plasma display donated for our non-commercial use by Cisco in the United Kingdom. Due to its size and weight, it's probably best to avoid moving it. It requires a strong television wall mount as it typically requires four people to carefully move it. Thank you Mentar & friends

Status

The screen works well, but be mindful that plasma displays can experience screen burn in if video graphics are left persistently unchanged for longer than an hour or two. Be careful unattended with video games and computer graphics.

RS232 control documentation can be found in the manual linked below.

Usage

There are PDF manuals floating around - a similar model manual is downloadable directly from Panasonic.

Disposal

Cisco was kind enough to donate this for our Hackspace usage for as long as it's usable to the space. It may not be sold off or disposed of irresponsibly - we either return it to Cisco (Bedfont Lakes UK) or document its disposal at a WEEE-certified recycling centre
