The Evolution of Plasma Displays

Another interesting display at the Pioneer booth was a look at the evolution of picture quality and power consumption of Plasma displays over the past several years.

The two number displays indicate instantaneous power consumption, with the older panel from 1998 consuming 283W and the latest panel from 2005 consuming only 171W in comparison.

Although you can't really tell from a still picture, the image quality of plasma displays has improved tremendously over the years.
