Answer 1

Plasma is 20 year past its prime nowadays. There are no modern plasma TVs manufactured or sold.

If your LCD is from the same period, then this might be due to plasma technology being more mature at that time and yielding a better image as a result.

Modern TVs are variations on LCD technology. They will blow away any old plasma TV in terms of color, brightness, clarity
