My brother has just bought a Panny brand new plasma and it uses 100 watts more than my standard LCD which uses more wattage than a LED backlit LCD

Plasma TVs use more power than LCD TVs. In our tests of TVs since the beginning of 2008 plasmas consume, on average, roughly two to three times more electricity to produce an image of the same brightness as LCD. In the last couple of years, plasma TV makers have made some progress--Panasonic claims improvements of 30 percent yearly, for example--but they still can't compete with LCD for energy efficiency. One problem is that in plasma TVs, each pixel is a discrete light source (think of it as a tiny light bulb), so when resolution increases, say from 720p to 1080p, power use goes up as well. The intensity of light from each pixel must be increased to brighten the picture as a whole. /

I don't really want to go higher than £700 less would be better, It needs to be 37inch or 40inch, I don't mind LCD or LED I don't want a plasma.
Any idea's would be welcome. |
