Interestingly, Brooks herself has bought a 42-inch plasma set.

I ran into a couple of people that had problems with plasma sets.

Prices for plasma sets should decline as well.

Finally, plasma sets are generally insanely expensive - $7,000 for a 42-incher, for example - which only makes them more desirable.

Although regular televisions are bulky, their light source is stronger than that of plasma sets.

Despite the rumors that plasma sets "needs to be recharged" after 10,000 hours, nothing could be further from the truth.

At first glance, a plasma set is arresting.

But plasma sets are so inefficient that the picture would be too dim to watch if it had to pass through black-tinted glass.

As a result, the darkest images most plasma sets can render are a dark gray.

This is among the least expensive plasma sets using current technology, and one of the best.
