plasma television

Plasma Television
A plasma display panel (PDP) is a type of flat panel display common to large TV displays 30 inches (76 cm) or larger.
They are called "plasma" displays because they use small cells containing electrically charged ionized gases, which are plasmas.
Plasma displays are bright (1,000 lux or higher for the module), have a wide color gamut, and can be produced in fairly large sizes—up to 3.8 metres (150 in) diagonally.
They had a very low-luminance "dark-room" black level compared with the lighter grey of the unilluminated parts of an LCD screen at least in the early history of the competing technologies (in the early history of plasma panels the blacks were blacker on plasmas and greyer on LCDs).
In 2010, the shipments of plasma TVs reached 18.2 million units globally. Since that time, shipments of plasma TVs have declined substantially. This decline has been attributed to the competition from liquid crystal (LCD) televisions, whose prices have fallen more rapidly than those of the plasma TVs.
In late 2013, Panasonic announced that they would stop producing plasma TVs from March 2014 onwards.
Goodbye Plasma - Panasonic Stop Production
In 2014, LG and Samsung discontinued plasma TV production as well, effectively killing the technology, probably because of lowering demand.

    Finally moving from plasma to OLED - Sony vs LG

    Still loving my 65" Panasonic VT50, but with UHD content becoming increasingly available, the time feels right to move over to an OLED tv. I find the plasma so much nicer for watching sport and normal TV compared to the 58" GX800 LED we have in another room. It is understandable that...

    Question Panasonic Plasma Replacement

    Looking to replace my Panasonic 43" plasma, bought in June 2010 when it was highly rated for its image quality. It's been faultless, never missed a beat. The viewing room isn't huge , so 42/43" is a good screen size. We have two sofas, one facing the TV and another at 90' so when sat on the...

    Panasonic V20

So I just decided to see how much use it has actually had, and I was shocked, it has only got 2,364 hours...

    Pioneer KRP 500A - Milky picture in daytime

    The Kuro is meant to produce the blackest blacks but in daytime viewing my picture is notably milky. This film is better than most and today is overcast but you can still see the difference between the black in screen and the black of the frame. I remember it being blacker. On the top of the...

    Just metered light out on a Panasonic ST60 with 35,000 hours and another with only 8,000 hours. Surprising results! How many hours on your panel?

    Just picked up a couple more plasmas and measured light output. Both 55-in ST60s, one with 35,000 hours the other with 8,000 hours. They have nearly identical peak brightness despite the massive difference in hours of usage. The higher hour set is just a hair brighter and this is very...
