Power consumption figures
Posted by jedrider on March 13, 2012 at 11:10:36:
Well, trying to research this, I have found:
42 inch Plasma : 300 watts
42 inch LED : 100 watts
Think of how much heat a 100-watt light bulb produces. These specs are for most recent TVs, so a new plasma today may be as efficient as an older LCD/Florescent TV of yesteryear, though.
I am also torn between Panasonic Viera plasma or LG LED. I am leaning towards LED because, unless I had a nice dark cinema area, in which case I would absolutely go with plasma, I have this suspicion that I would enjoy most DVD/BluRay material just as much -- basically having shear definition compensate for the color nuance that plasma achieves -- just my guess, having never experienced much of either -- and I am open to suggestions on this as well.
