Samsung sold laptop computers with plasma displays in the eighties, I think Toshiba did too. But they were high-resolution monochrome (amber on black, or vice vera), not colour, and used so much power they could only be used plugged in. I've never seen a small colour plasma display. Maybe they would have been developed if LCD hadn't been lighter and more suitable for laptops, and thus attracted serious development money.
later - done a little checking - Compaq and Toshiba seem to have been the main companies that tried plasma display laptops / portable PCs, and resolution was poorer than I thought I remembered, looks like basic CGA or EGA equivalent with four "grey" scales. |

Spotted several CEDs in a charity shop in Hammersmith, London, today. All are PAL and priced at £5, mostly music. No interest to me, since I don't own a player, but I thought I'd pass the info on. No idea if the disks are still good, I'm afraid, but they look clean and undamaged.
Happy Feelins' in New Orleans
Olivia Newton John - Physical
John Mitchell - Shadow and Light (sealed)
Koyaanisqatsi
On Golden Pond
The Prince's Trust Rock Gala
The shop is the Trinity Hospice charity shop in King Street, Hammersmith.
Incidentally, the Wikipedia entry for Koyaanisqatsi says it went straight to DVD with no other home media release, and it doesn't appear to be in the database. |
