Advantages and disadvantages on plasma display?

advantages
1. picture quality
2. Capable of producing deeper blacks allowing for superior contrast ratio⁸
3. Wider viewing angles than those of LCD; images do not suffer from degradation at high angles like LCD's
4. Less visible motion blur, thanks in large part to very high refresh rates and a faster response time, contributing to superior performance when displaying content with significant amounts of rapid motion
disadvantages
1.

• Picture quality
  • Earlier generation displays were more susceptible to screen burn-in and image retention, although most recent models have a pixel orbiter that moves the entire picture slower than is noticeable to the human eye, which reduces the effect of burn-in but does not prevent it.^[11]
  • Earlier generation displays (2006 and prior) had phosphors that lost luminosity over time, resulting in gradual decline of absolute image brightness (newer models are less susceptible to this, having lifespans exceeding 100,000 hours, far longer than older CRTtechnology)^[5][8]
  • Earlier generation (circa 2001 and earlier) models were susceptible to "large area flicker"^[12]
  • Heavier screen-door effect when compared to LCD or OLED based TVs^{[citation needed]}

• Physical
  • Generally do not come in smaller sizes than 37 inches^[6][7]
  • Heavier than LCD due to the requirement of a glass screen to hold the gases

• Other
  • Use more electricity, on average, than an LCD TV
  • Do not work as well at high altitudes due to pressure differential between the gases inside the screen and the air pressure at altitude. It may cause a buzzing noise. Manufacturers rate their screens to indicate the altitude parameters.^[13]
  • For those who wish to listen to AM radio, or are Amateur Radio operators (Hams) or Shortwave Listeners (SWL), the Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) from these devices can be irritating or disabling.^[14]
  • Due to the strong infrared emissions inherent with the technology, standard IR repeater systems can not be used in the viewing room. A more expensive "plasma compatible" sensor must be used.^{[citation needed]}
