  Bad viewing angles, poor contrast ratios, poor refresh rate and poor display speed.

  I was not saying that they were non existent or unreliable. The technology was just poor at that time and beaten by Plasma displays in those areas

  Plasma displays had 2 problems though (besides cost) They were heavier than LCDs and their backlights would dim over time.

    I still have the plasma TV in my house my dad bought in 2007. The backlight is a little dim but not too much, and there is no significant screen burn-in to my knowledge.

    It’s great for mid-late 2000’s consoles and TV shows.

      I bet, they are still technically good displays that can potentially surpass most modern LCDs.

      OLED does beat them in every way though now

    Plasmas dont have backlights, they worked similar to oled.

      You are correct. They were susceptible to burn in and dimming over time but did not have a back light.

      I never owned a plasma display because they were too expensive. CRT until 08 for me

      I should’ve corrected that after my wikipedia dive
