Check the AVS Forum archives, they date back to 2000 or so: http://archive.avsforum.com/avs-vb/

Panasonic, Sony, NEC, Fujitsu, and a company called Runco were popular back in the day. The prices of the panels were in the 5 digits so very few folks actually owned own at home. To show how much the market has changed, the only one left making PDPs since 1998 is Panasonic (I don't think LG and Samsung was making them back then).
