Which uses the most power when compaird to crt's? Our tv seems to be on most of the day.
I think it would be LCD, CRT then plasma (lowest to highest)
I brought a 50inch plasma about 3 years ago.
Panasonic and its bloody terrific.
Now, if you go into shops like hardly normal and ask a sales men AND if you listen to them.. then well, you deserve to buy something low quality (ie, crap)
But if you do research (and your head will hurt) then you will get the best for your money.
I did research for a little over a year befor I finally made my choice.
At that time it was NEC or Panasonic. they both have fantastic image quality (just differances in blacks)
I wondering where the myth of Plasmas being hot came from?? my plasmas been running since 9am and its not almost 2:30pm and I just ran my hand over the intire back panel including the vents and its just warm to the touch, I suppose you may be able to boil an egg from the heat but it will take a few months! It isn't hot at all and I have never felt a hot Plasma screen!!!
People talking about the life of a plasma I think may have it a little wrong.
Plasmas have a rated hours of being on in hours untill it reaches whats called a "half life" which is weakening of the light emitted untill it reachs half of its maximum original output.
On my plasma thats 80 thousand hours which at the rate we are using it is 12 years and that is only untill half life. You can continue watching it after that fine, sure it wont look the best but show me a CRT that still looks as good as it first did after 12 years
Viewing angle on LCD tv's is no where near as good as a Plasma, you can look at it from the side and still see a perfect picture, try doing that with an LCD!!! (who ever said LCD has better viewing angles is wrong)
Thats all the comments I can remember to comment too !
Philips recently released a 60inch plasma so Panansonic is surely not far away which I can't wait for hehehe I want it!
Oh and Plasma manufactures are now able produce real 1080i (and soon 1080p)

For mine , and I did my research, including going to places that sold both plasma and LCD and checked the viewing angles myself and found that comparing the diffrent screens with the same program running that the LCD gave a better viewing angle.
Knew there was something wrong with my eyes.Quote:

Know jack about all this, but I think response time (quoted in milliseconds) is the measure of how the screen copes with fast moving images. Often see this quoted in ads for computer monitors.
