From the 90′s History-The Plasma TV and Me
Plasma TV was a project I started in Late 1987- this is a story dated 1997 – The Worlds First FlatScreen Plasma TV’s
The flat panel screens — 42 inches high but just four inches thick — are being made by privately-held QFTV.
Peter Marcus, QFTV’s founder and Chairman, plans to make 5,700 sets this year, the High definition TV is supposed to offer viewers a flicker-free, high-resolution image. By 2000, the most optimistic industry estimates are for 4 million HDTVs to be produced worldwide, compared to 100 million standard television sets.. Instead of focusing on consumers, QFTV’s early flat screen monitors were used by Avon cosmetics in its corporate suite at the Atlanta Olympics in 1996. Intel had QFTV digital video monitors at the 1996 Comdex show, together with Starbucks Store of The Future. Miramax Pictures used QFTV’s huge tube at the recent Academy Awards. Affluent videophiles are just 10 percent of QFTV’s target audience. Marcus scored a coup late last year by getting Hammacher Schlemmer, the well known Chicago-based retailer, to include the QFTV set in its catalog February 1997.
