The question presumes that plasma television technology is failure and that is far from the truth. Plasma televisions have been around since the early days of flat screen television and were in fact the only technology available to reach the 40" and larger screen sizes.
When they were launched, they could boast higher contrast and better color saturation than the LCD based competitive products. Both technologies suffered a little from image smearing, caused by the time taken for a pixel to change from one level to another although there was a general consensus that plasma displays were a little faster to update than many LCD models.
Plasma was not without problems and many early televisions suffered from images being "burnt" onto the screen where static images were allowed to remain on view for too long. Plasma screens have been expensive and over the last ten years or so, LCD prices have reduced in cost faster than many plasma models.
Plasma displays in 2013 are becoming unusual and although there are still a number of models on sale, the development of LCD displays with LED back lighting and the upcoming OLED displays, the future for plasma is looking bleak. It will be something of a surprise to see plasma on sale by the end of 2013 if current trends continue.
Although we can expect plasma to fade away very soon, the technology has served users well over the previous decade and despite a few problems, it has been a success during that time.
