Was thinking and looking at monitors recently and Plazma shot into my mind. After taking a quick look, they don't even make them anymore! I had no idea production was completely halted. Looks like in 2013 after a quick search.

So curious if anyone still has a working Plazma TV or monitor.
Had a buddy that got one way back maybe even in the late 90's early 2000's like 01 or 02. I remember it looked pretty good, but it ran pretty warm.

Oh yeah man they run warm. I have a 2010 Panasonic 42 inch and the back is all metal, like a big heatsink. It says 298w on it, I thought it was 600.. glad I double checked that lol.

As for how it looks as a monitor? I thought it was terrible tbh. Must be a low end model I guess.. outside of that I have no experience with them. I got it for a hundred bucks back in 2017..

Edit:

Now I have glasses, so it might not be as bad as I thought :D

I saw them, their Refresh rates/response times were as smooth as a CRT, Colors were vibrant and not subdued.

But the text though, I found like this kind of text impossible to read. But I have glasses now.. colors and stuff were pretty decent.

It is literally a space heater :)

My uncle has an old LG plasma that developed some insane burn-in over the years. OLED's pretty much completely replaced that niche. Instant pixel response times in OLED do show its sample and hold nature, though... Good read:
