English term

one solution or many solutions?

English Marketing Media / Multimedia home theatre systems
"More Than Just a Screen
Just like projectors – screens are not all alike. Planar Xscreen provides *a unique solution* that allows for simplicity, elegance and, above all, stellar performance. Offering *a range of solutions*, the Xscreen provides amazing, enhanced images and impressive design."

This is an entire and unedited paragraph.
I am sorry, but I must be stupid. Are they talking about one sulution, many solutions or what?

Pls go to the link below, click on the picture and read the lines next to it. The Xscreen website is actually written in good English and has less marketing nonsense. I'm kinda interested in their product now! :-)

Richard: Do you mean "high-gloss black or white, as well as custom made solutions" here?: http://www.xscreen.com/products/products.htm Since when have "marketing solutions" had such colors? :-D
Richard Benham May 24, 2006:
while the "range of solutions" probably means just that it is available in different sizes and in different configurations...blah blah blah....
Richard Benham May 24, 2006:
I think you can forget about "film solutions" (developers?) here. It's just typical crap marketing language. The first "solution" is to the alleged problems, and is "unique" in the sense of being unusual, perhaps even unique to the company...
Lingo Pros May 24, 2006:
Andrea, "Solution" here means "film solution" and has nothing to do with "approach" or "options".
Andrea Re (asker) May 23, 2006:
Thanks Mike, you confirm what I thought. Solution=approach; solutions=options or something like that.

The "unique" solution that is being offered is only one in the sense that it is a unique approach of offering a variety of range of solutions

Unique solution used in "Planar Xscreen"+ solutions used on all Xscreen products

"Planar Xscreen" provides "a unique Solution" (which is a 4mm layer of hardened glass beneath the screen surface, which provides an absolutely planar screen surface that creates an unsurpassed image experience. ).

"The Xscreen" (in general including other Xscreen products, not only Planar) offer a "range of solutions":

http://www.xscreen.com/products/products.htm

Every Xscreen Monaco screen uses innovative Daylight Film Technology. This unsurpassed film surface enables a colorful, sharp image - even with the lights on. The secret is the combination of a 4mm layer of hardened glass beneath the screen surface, which provides an absolutely <<< planar screen surface>>> that creates an unsurpassed image experience.

Xscreen uses a licensed film solution behind each Monaco screen to produce beautiful, rich images from any projector.

TVs of all types have a common problem: the reflected light from windows or lamps degrades the picture quality. Xscreen’s film solution is superior to standard TV surfaces because it is reflex-free and eliminates any reflection from other light sources. The result is a superior projected image with beautiful color, rich contrast and razor-sharp images in nearly any lighting environment.

"Film Solution/s" might have been a brand name for a type of "film" but now it is a common name used in the film industry:
