In Reply to: Reasons why i should not be compelled to buy a 1080P set? posted by dingo dave on February 17, 2007 at 21:51:37:
I don't get the whole power usage fright associated with plasmas. We've had a 50" Panasonic plasma in the living room for about 6 months which is on quite a bit and noticed no increase in electricity. Is it a moral concern? I'm really interested to know. I mean, come on, at most it's a few cents a day which shouldn't logically factor into the decision to buy a tv set for thousands of dollars. Am I wrong?
Follow Ups:
i hear ya...the plasma i ended up getting uses 550w i believe and the DLP i was considering also uses 350w. Now, what's 200 extra watts gonna do to my electric bil. Not a lot.
Having said that, my concerns with energy usage were twofold...conservation and $$$. I try to take conservation into consideration when i shop for something that needs external power sources. It was obviously one of the minor issues i had with plasmas cause i ended up getting the plasma anyway.
.
Watts consumed must be multiplied by time to get a usable value of consumption. 200 watts for 8 hours/day gets 1.6 kilowatt-hours (kWh). Figure about 15 cents/kWh.
