Aug. 24, 1995: "Fujitsu Announces World's First Commercial 42-inch-diagonal Wide-Screen Color Plasma Display"
Fujitsu still hosts the full 1995 press release on their website:
https://info.archives.global.fujitsu/jp/news/1995/Aug/24-e.html
They claimed:
"The new device features a 42-inch-diagonal screen (920mm wide by 518mm high) that is just 75mm thick -- a feat impossible with CRTs. In addition to full-color display of 16.7 million colors, it boasts 300 candela/m2 white peak brightness and a contrast ratio of 70:1, for a display quality on par with even the best CRTs and far superior to rear projection type displays."
