As mentioned before commercial Class A plasma displays share 99.0 percent of their components with their retail consumer class B display. This includes the plasma core, video processor, fans, chip boards, amplifier. Since the commercial units share 99.0 percent of the same component with the consumer model you will not see any advantages in overall picture quality. Resolution, and viewing angle are identical when comparing retail vs. commercial. Commercial units sometimes offer a wider selection of menu settings, to accurately adjust color, brightness and contrast. Most professional plasma installers prefer commercial grade plasma's because of the infinite picture settings, and adjustments.

Manufacturers of color TVs are beginning to export LCD and plasma display models and are reducing their emphasis on traditional cathode-ray tube TVs. Companies are investing in the design and production of DVD recorders, the advanced alternative to DVD players. In the home theater sector, manufacturers are exploring Internet connectivity and are integrating hard disks into their product designs.

A plasma TV is sometimes called an "emissive" display — the panel is actually self-lighting. The display consists of two transparent glass panels with a thin layer of pixels sandwiched in between. Each pixel is composed of three gas-filled cells or sub-pixels (one each for red, green and blue). A grid of tiny electrodes applies an electric current to the individual cells, causing the gas (a mix of neon and xenon) in the cells to ionize. This ionized gas (plasma) emits high-frequency UV rays, which stimulate the cells' phosphors, causing them to glow the desired color.

The phosphors in a plasma display give off colored light when they are excited. Every pixel is made up of three separate subpixel cells, each with different colored phosphors. One subpixel has a red light phosphor, one subpixel has a green light phosphor and one subpixel has a blue light phosphor. These colors blend together to create the overall color of the pixel.

[F]ar, the company has built a prototype color display, with 128 glass plasma tubes, each measuring 1 millimeter in diameter, which provides a screen size of 128 mm by 1 meter. The tubes, which operate in the same manner as standard plasma displays, are filled with xenon and neon gas. Their inside walls are partly coated with either red, green, or blue phosphor, which together produce the full color spectrum [see diagram, "
