Weakness in PDP technology

I heard this third hand but I'm assured it's true, one for Harry Hill, or whoever presents the blooper shows currently.

Apparently, last night on one of the live Sell-a-Vision channels they had a high-end Plasma TV on offer.
The male presenter was extolling the advantages of the set to the female presenter, particularly the strength of the
glass screen compared to an LCD, and repeatedly punched the glass with his fist to demonstrate its strength.

You guys are ahead of me on this aren't you?

He managed to damage it?

Presumably he was confusing it with the much tougher CRT technology
(although gun alignment or shadow mask or wires would be the most likely
victim of such abuse).

I saw it, sad git that I am I had QVC on last night. He was
demonstrating the strength of plasma screens vs LCD. His excuse was
that he had weakened it by his repeated "tests".

No need to read any further then as it's a lie or rubbish from a friend of a
friend
repeated by some total idiot who never checked the facts first.

Do some research, it seems you added that bit on.

Apparently, last night on one of the live Sell-a-Vision channels they had
a high-end Plasma TV on offer.

Oh no they didn't. I was watching them all. Name the channel, you should
know if it was only
last night. Your friend should also remember shouldn't he.

That is a complete lie and I think you know that already. Health & Safety
Laws would not allow this to happen
and it would not be shown on live or prerecorded TV.


You guys are ahead of me on this aren't you?

Yes, you have lied and made it quite obvious, maybe just to attract
attention or to test your news program.

Samsung Plasma, it's all here on their website:-

So TJ is actually the TI. It only takes one or two posts to know it's him
so God knows why he bothers to change his alias. Saying he watches all the
shopping channels at once is creepy even by his usual standard, though.

Hilarious. And right after saying that his nephew had put his Wii
controller through an LCD TV screen. Maybe that was true or maybe that was
phoney and he was actually thinking of this infamous "Wii Fail" :

His finger slipped when he was entering his new Usenet posting name,
and he hit J instead of I.
