There are some plasma's that use about the same for example my 42" 1080p plasma uses 250w and my dads 40" 1080p lcd uses 240w, but i prefer plasma as they give a better picture than lcd or led or even led backlit tv's, i thought it was funny when i had people saying to me over xmas when i was working in comet, saying they want a tv and they want the best picture for x amount of money at 40"+ and, i would tell them go for a plasma they would then say no chance the picture isn't as good.

We had 2 tv's setup showing the same blu-ray disc one tv was a 50" plasma the other was a 50" led backlit, and as soon as they saw it they always chose the plasma as they, have better colour's sharper picture and no smearing of fast paced movement's that lcd and led backlit tv's have.

Still 3d tv's are not worth the money yet as there is nothing out there to utilise it fully yet for everday use, unless your going to watch the same thing all the time every day.
