Lets stop this arguement here and now Scottski... You attempted to make this point in another thread and it was shot down there as well....I suggest you do some research before misleading folks...here compared by an unbiased site is power consumption for a 50 inch plasma and a 52 inch LCD not much difference as you can see... so stop it with the Plasmas are power hogs...

Rear projection may seem inexpensive until you begin to figure in the cost of replacement bulbs and recalibration after moving the set...
