I guess nope, as that cable would be from the laptop to a monitor: it repleaces the hdmi, adding this standard where it doesn't needs to have two cables for that puorpose, as several monitors nowadays use one for the power delivery and one for data.
I recall the main issue within plasma TV was that them was power hungry (350w/450w) for screens from 42" to 50". That technology did get "stagnant", (2012 was the latest ones made) and the close OLED too become a thing on phones and tables for the most (from Samsung). Then OLED came out on monitor again some years ago, at its price.
I don't know how much an OLED TV consume, but I guess less than plasma ones, but adding 4K etc wouldn't be surprised if the rate is the same.
Besides the fact that plasma has 1080p limit, them are sold from 70$ to 300$, and someone's really gave it away during covid's electric bills growing up.
But now the standard says 350W it's not alot lol.
Just to mention, as a OLED would be newest, and smarter, the Viera's contrast ratio is 5,000,000:1, and darkest blacks; comparing a LCD, QLED, IPS etc that's around 5000:1 (7000:1 on QLED).

BTW, that's another thing I like from the Steam's Deck: it stays around 13W/35W (also sharing GPU VRAM with RAM, as used in consoles, but rarely or never on PCs/laptops).

Ah, forgot to mention plasma's has a 3ms response, as high end gaming monitors.
