My uncle was convinced that plasma TVs actually contained plasma. You know, the state of matter above gas?

I had a hell of a time trying to explain how plasma TVs really worked.

I doubt they do.

Speaking of Wikipedia, my room mate thinks that Wikipedia is the best source of information because anyone can edit it.

Plasma screens do contain plasma.
Gases are contained in a VERY small area, and they're excited to create a plasma, which excites phosphor, which then emits photons like mad.
So yes, they do contain plasma, much like a fluorescent light.

You're thinking of the Apple Pippin.
