Most people know plasma TVs as those unbelievably thin display monitors that
can be hung on your wall just like pieces of video art. (To give you an idea
of the space-saving advantages of plasma technology, consider this: A
40-inch TV may be two feet deep and weigh upwards of 150 pounds, while the
same size plasma display might have a depth of, say, 6 inches and weigh half
as much.) But this isn't your average slimmed-down television set. The
display itself consists of thousands of "cells," which are individual glass
compartments injected with neon-xenon gas suspended in plasma-hence the
"plasma" appellation. These cells are the basic elements comprising the
picture you see on your TV screen. When the gases are electrically charged,
they strike red, green, and blue phosphors. Just like that, an image (which
is nothing more than the sum of the aforementioned colored elements,
commonly known as "pixels") is born.

They also fade over a reletively short period of time.

Not a good purchase.
