I recall seeing this early Plasma TV, branded as Philips, in a local Norwich store. I think it was probably no more than a 40" screen, which was big for the time and very low definition. I believe the price was around £12,000.
1997 (20 + years ago)
Philips/Fujitsu Flat Plasma TV: $22,924
PPSI: $30.45
1997 was the year the first flat-panel TVs really hit the consumer market (
Fujitsu having started plasma production in late 1996). This TV was flat. It was the future. It was expensive. It… looked terrible. This was an ugly, ugly TV.
