&#62;<i>Plasma TVs are ridiculously high on power consumption</i><p>This seems to be an urban myth. Cnet's test (link below) show that for a 42" TV, the yearly cost is roughly:<p><pre><code>  LCD $25 - $40
  Plasma $40 - $50
</code></pre>
Fractionally more power consumption, not <i>ridiculous</i>.<p>Assumes $0.11/kWh, on for 5hrs/day. Ranges eyeballed by me. See full data here: <a href="http://reviews.cnet.com/green-tech/tv-consumption-chart/" rel="nofollow">http://reviews.cnet.com/green-tech/tv-consumption-chart/</a>
