plasma = radiator?

I had a 42" Toshiba plasma set that I bought in 2006. It put out tons of heat, so much so that I had to run a window air conditioner in order to operate it in the summer (I don't have central air). The picture quality (720p) was fine except for horrendous macro blocking in dark areas. I replaced it with a Samsung 46" 1080p set that makes no heat, has better picture quality, and cost a LOT less than I paid for my old TV. I didn't even consider plasma sets due to the weight (over 110 pounds versus 40 pounds) and the heat.
