Hi The model is a JVC AV42PD20 - the pdp works fine and it is just
the glass screen thats seperate from the pdp thats cracked.
JVC want £834 for a new 'screen filter' as they call it- so yes I presume
theres something special about it for it to cost so much. It just seems a
rather ridiculous price for a 3mm piece of glass with a coating, and 3
layers of plastic filters.
Do other manufacturers charge similar figures for their screen filters?-
perhaps since 42" is a common size, another manufacturers screen , if
available at sensible price, would do .

any one know who charges what for these screens (in UK)

Hi JVC Dude,

As David say's Plasma panels emit huge amounts of IR radiation. I have
been
told that it is so great that if you remove the IR filter (The bit of
glass
your talking about) all remote controls in the room stop working!

In all the models I have worked on there is a piece of specially coated
glass in front of the PDP to stop IR radiation. Haven't you seen the video
on the internet that came out several years ago when plasma was a new
technology. The news reader touched the front of a PDP and jumps back in
surprise saying something like "**** that's hot"

What Brand/model are you working on?

Lets see, massive amounts of infrared, small amounts of xrays, and
some uv light are all filtered in the front protective glass on plasma
tv sets. I am not sure it is available separate from the entire
plasma screen assembly on most models.

Can anyone offer any advice on the replacement of the protective
screen
in
front of the plasma panel.
(Have got a customers set with a cracked glass)

Is there a safety issue regarding special coatings etc to protect from
RF
interference etc. Or could one just use -say tempered glass.
I can't measure any resistive coating. There are 3 plastic stick on
covering
sheets none of which have a conductive coating, just a tint.

Do plasma panels emit any unwanted particles besides light from the
phosphors- and need special screening?
