Re: [NSW] Plasma screen--staff refusing to use them

A link to NEC's site. A plasma screen operates on gas, unlike the
standard CRT (electron beam) and the LCD (liquid crystals) it uses gas
(plasma) to generate a picture.


State Rail's model is PlasmaSync 770 or something like that. I'll take a
closer look in the coming week.

Seeing now that staff are "refusing to use them [the displays]" I now
have doubts as to the indicators at Strathfield starting to work before
the Olympics.

          The new platform indicators being installed at 16 CityRail
stations.
          
          The screens are not like a conventional television screen, and
are flat -
          similar to a larger version of a laptop screen.
          
          Now that wasn't too hard to explain, Hubert, was it? :)
