POWER CONSUMPTION

Because LCDs use florescent backlighting to produce images, they require substantially less power to operate than plasmas do. LCD TVs consume about half the power that plasma displays consume. The reason: Plasmas use a lot of electricity to light each and every pixel you see on a screen - even the dark ones. Though plasma manufacturers have improved voltage consumption requirements a plasma TV will consume around a third more power for the same size display.

ADVANTAGE: LCD

LCD TVs have an edge in terms of power consumption. LCD TVs generally can save up to 30 percent power usage compared to Plasma TVs. LCD TVs have longer life spans in comparison to Plasma TVs. Compared to LCD TVs, Plasma TVs have altitude problems. Plasma TVs do not perform as well at higher altitudes. This problem doesn’t exist for LCD TVs.
