Pros

• Most screens are 42 inch (107 cm) in diagonal size upwards, which makes them perfect for home theater use.
• Color reproduction is great, especially the 'darkroom' contrast, which produces the ideal 'perfect black'.
• They perform well under ambient light conditions. This means that bright light does not filter out the image on the screen. Therefore you do not have to turn off the wall lights in your living room to improve the screen image.
• Each pixel is lit individually, so the image is very bright, over 1000 lx. For screens 70 inches diagonally.
• Each pixel is lit individually so the picture looks good from almost every angle.
• Total thickness of the actual device is usually only 10 cm / 4 inches.
• Include a wide color gamut for screens 80 inches diagonally.
• You can mount your plasma on just about any wall in your home. Check whether it's VESA wall mount compatible.
• The display panel is usually only 6cm / 2 and half inches thick.
• Technology of the future, which are HDTV and Digital TV ready.
  

Cons

• Lower resolutions than good LCD displays.
• Power economy is per square meter equal to that of a CRT screen TV. Larger plasma screens can use as much as 700 watts of power.
• Still has a high cost, even though prices are becoming cheaper.
• The life time of many screens is equal to 58,000 hours when the picture quality has degraded to half of its original brightness when displaying video. Plasmas generally do last a decade, sometimes longer.
• Burn-in can be a problem, this is when an image is retained on a pixel for a prolonged period. Such as network logos on TV shows and computer games left on pause for long periods. Therefore carelessness can be a problem with plasma displays. Therefore dead pixels can be an issue.
• Plasma displays are made from fragile substances, so always be careful when moving them.
• Even though Plasma displays can be mounted on walls, they can require wall-strengthening due to the excessive weight.
