The last time I read Neuromancer was in the 2000s and didn't even get that flat screen TVs were supposed to be futuristic. Of course the most obviously dated part is the 8 MB of hot RAM at the beginning.
I appreciate that Snow Crash still has a nice mix of tech which in retrospect decades later is quaint, plausible and fanciful. E.g. skateboard wheels that shape themselves in realtime to confirm to a scan of the ground ahead of them.
