In Reply to: RE: Power consumption figures posted by jedrider on March 13, 2012 at 11:10:36
The figures above are only maximum values, not average or typical. What I found with measurements is that my Panny plasmas only use the max power listed above if not properly adjusted for brightness, and then only on a totally white picture (which is rare). A totally black picture goes down much lower to some value above zero.
I'm not sure whether LCDs use constant power, but suspect that they do. If a 42" plasma varies between say 50W and 150W as the brightness varies, I expect that the power consumption would be quite similar to LCD. It's possible that it's even lower, though I doubt it. I'm just saying, don't be mis-led.
I think that the only issue for the Panny plasmas as far as room light control is not brightness, but reflections or glare from other lights in the room if they reflect towards you. Meaning, in a sun-light room you will see the room reflected off of the glass. All TVs have some of that, but the glass of plasmas is probably worst.

Thanks for the info as it is so hard to compare and it makes sense. A plasma would be nice as I know all the sports bars use plasmas and they are obviously pretty good -- not being a football fan myself, though.
It seems that 1080p is the only safe way to go, not wanting to be obsoleted before the year is out!
I got one 720p on sale a while ago and it was not as good at 1080p (50").
When I got my 65" finally, I wanted 2D but only found 3D. So they seem to be trying to get rid of older ones before releasing new ones now. I would only recommend 720p if it's much less than 1080p. Some TV stations only do 720p and at 65" I can see the difference compared to 1080i TV resolution, but the p (progressive) is better for motion.
In my secondary living room system I have a large Mitsubishi rear projection that is pretty great for the money. I got that since I don't have great light control in that room.
