I just sold my 11 year old Hitachi plasma TV a few months ago. Honestly, despite its age it had the best picture quality of all my TVs until I bought an OLED to replace it.

The biggest downside to it? It put out a tremendous amount of heat. It got to where I didn't like using it during the summer because it would heat up the room. It was basically like running a space heater.

I still have my Hotachi plasma (1080i) and I won’t get rid of it till it dies! Great TV but power hungry, hot and extremely heavy!

I rented a place during the summer that had a plasma TV in the master bedroom. I had to disconnect it, and never used it, because it generated so much heat that we could not sleep.

Sure but it makes a great faux fireplace at Christmas :)
