"Hello my name Mark, and today I am going to talk about how a plasma screen works. A plasma screen is the most common monitor that you would see today. They are the flat panel monitors, usually wide screen. They look completely different from yesterdays CRT monitors, the big bulky ones. And how a plasma screen monitor works is in receiving the video signal it uses thousands and thousands of tiny diodes or LEDs to illuminate pixels on the monitor. The three basic colors red, green, and blue there would be one of each in each pixel, and it would use those colors and contrast with each other to display the pictures on the monitor. And that is how a plasma screen works."
