I remember looking at an SGI PC years ago, with a plasma panel display. That was when plasma displays cost thousands of dollars and LCD displays hadn't quite arrived yet. I almost bought one but decided against it. It sure was impressive to look at. Plasma displays have a reputation for excellent brightness and contrast.
(I may be partial; I have fond memories, and an actual working copy of, a 512 x
512 "orange and white" plasma display...)
