"And if 65" isn't enough for you, they are now taking orders for their 103" plasma"My little 37" plasma consumes 370 watts of electricity to run compared to 160 watts for a nominal 27" CRT TV. The 50" version sucks up over 500 watts. I know of one person who returned his 50" plasma TV because it overheated his smallish living room this hot summer. Now about those 103" plasma screens. How much power is that space heater? I would hesitate to own one as the screen to watch for hours on end. BTW, my 370 watt plasma, a Panasonic, got an "Energy Star" label on it. Hmmm.

…......Early model Plasma screens were a little bit warm but to refer to them as space heaters is a gross exaggeration. Usually associated HT equipment will generate more heat than the screen. I live in a hot climate and have the house air-conditioned so it isn’t an issue whatsoever.I have several wide-screen CRT & Plasma TV’s including one in our bedroom. While you can feel a ‘warm heat’ emitting from the screen when you place the palm of your hand right in front of the screen it certainly doesn’t heat up the room.
To my knowledge the temperatures you guys experienced a few weeks back would heat up any domestic room without air-conditioning. The ambient temperatures would have been far higher than the heat emitting from a plasma screen.
As for power consumption I would think if you can’t afford the power bill then don’t buy large screen TV’s. I don’t believe power consumption of HT gear is really an issue for anyone who is buys it in the first place.
Maybe you are one of the rare breed of folk who won’t turn the air-con on in the car because it uses more fuel?
Life is just too short to worry about such insignificant things.

than your post? A penny.WTF kind of analogy was that? It's like saying "My Hummer gets 10 miles to the gallon compared to Honda Hybrids that get 55 miles to the gallon. I can't stand gas guzzlers. BTW, the Hummer passes the emission standards for California. Hmmm.".

If it were to have any kind of realistic analogy, a few words would have to change and it would read:
It's like saying "My Hummer gets 10 miles to the gallon compared to Honda Hybrids that get 55 miles to the gallon. [I, sic.] SOME can't stand gas guzzlers. BTW, my SMALLEST Hummer still passes the [emission, sic.] ENERGY STAR's standards for California ENERGY EFFICIENCY. Hmmm.".
Take a reading comprehension course. I hate stupid Internet dumbshits that rip into me because they can't understand simple English words that I write. So go to hell.
Anything. You rant over nothing here, buddy. Jeez, what is your f*cking problem? You think you're so big and important, don't you? Well you're not to me.
Heat loss was the reason I passed on a plasma unit last year. I've had hot water radiators that put out fewer BTUs than the 48"+ plasma screens.
