Actually, the link to Crutchfield was fine, and certainly confirms what pappy posted earlier . . . which is . . . there really ain't much difference.
Maybe the issue at hand is command of the English language where you seem to think that plasma sets "are very power hungry... (while LCD sets cost) ... a bunch less than plasmas. (to operate)"
Can we define "power hungry"?
Gosh, how much is "a bunch less"?
Really, is $1.10 per month (from pappy's post), or even $1.56 per month (the Crutchfield average for all 50/52" sets), or even $3.51 per month (the worst plasma vs the best LCD) really "a bunch"?
And it should be noted that the difference between the best plasma and the best LCD is a mere $0.47 per month . . . that's a pretty small bunch in my book.
Hell all of the above can be offset by swapping out a few lightbulbs.
I don't think the sky is gonna fall anytime soon.

I'm very suspect even of the crutchfield tests and numbers. Look at the ratings they claim for the Sony KDL-46XBR4 and the KDL-46XBR5.
The XBR4 they have listed at $2.91 per month to operate.
The XBR5 they have listed at $5.41 per month.
BULL. They are exactly the same set. How exactly does a glossy black bezel nearly double the power consumption? Something is very wonky about that entire chart.
