I would say even 10 degrees off center noticeably decreases PQ with LCD, and especially brightness. 20 degrees is ridiculous.

People should remember, as was pointed out already, that plasma power consumption is all over the place depending on what's being displayed. LCD power consumption is constant. So to compare actual power consumption (manufacturers' numbers are usually max.), you'd need to use a kwh meter over a fair time with the material you watch with the plasma...not really practical, and may be an irrelevant result to everybody but you.

For example, my Pio Elite 60" consumes from 160W to a bit over 700W, and I use it in full power blasting mode (I don't mean torch mode, but in no-power-saving mode for best performance). In the summer I can feel the heat from the front of the display, but the back is "cold" and none of the four fans have ever come on (I presume they work...).
