These ego dudes here at the forum wanna be important...
so take it for what it is worth here...

Crutchfield DID tons of testing.
Be informed.

i rest my case.
You rest a poor case.

#1) the link you provide does not compare similar sets. It is idiotic to expect a 50" plasma to be the same power consumption as a 42" lcd. Of course the 42" tv is going to draw less. Post something that compares a 50" plasma to a 50" lcd.

#2) the power consumption difference is not even that bad between a 50" plasma and a 42" lcd. Essentially they are saying it the article YOU posted, that a 50" plasma will cost exactly $19.08 per year more to operate than the 42" lcd. HOLY FREAKING CRAP, BREAK THE BANK AND GO POOR!!! You spend $2000 on a tv and $20 a year kills you? BULL.

The difference, for the real world is negligable.

What is more telling is that the LCD used 35% more power than the manufacturer listed while the plasma used 24% less power.

You are barking up the wrong tree with inaccurate claims that you cannot justify. Rest your case all you want. If so, you have lost your case.
