I attended a demo in the mid-90s in Metairie LA at Audio Resource debuting Pioneer's first 50" plasma display. It was being fed by a High Definition video tape player (the model number started with a W and was made by JVC, if I'm not mistaken). Since Japan had High Definition before we did, you got to watch endless scenes of Japanese gardens, trees and flowers. A few race car scenes broke up the monotony.
And it was Fujitsu who made the first full color plasma screens in the early 90s. Before that, you could display any color you wanted, as long as you wanted reddish-orange. Pioneer started selling plasma displays in the mid-90s, but it was after Fujitsu and Philips introduced their 42" models.
