As far as I know, Plasmas never came this thin, not even sure they can be this thin without a major breakthrough in their underlying tech. The thinnest the display elements for plasma TVs ever got was one inch thick, and plasmas had alot of other necessary internals. So the shell of the TV itself was generally more than 1 inch thick. I don't think they ever did the thing that's common now with Oled and had all the internals bunched up in one little "bump" in the back with the rest of the shell just being as thin as the screen elements alone allow. But, even if there was a model that did that, it would still be one inch plus the thickness of the plastic walls.

Yarp, I've owned both and the best Plasma is 3-4 inches thick. Wouldn't take much to burn in a Plasma compared to the time it take for OLED.
