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. But HITACHI says: POWER CONSUMPTION Caution should be taken when comparing power consumption figures. Plasma Plasma displays only emit light where necessary, consuming less power on average when displaying moving images than their peak power ratings indicate. This results in plasma displays being more economical for television viewing, offering lower yearly power consumption in large screen TVs. LCD Although some LCDs quote lower peak power ratings than similar sized plasma displays, they constantly keep a bright backlight on regardless of the image being displayed. LCD power consumption is always at around the same level, consuming more power on average than high performance plasmas when viewing moving images. I've made just quick investigation just to educate myself.
