Well, trying to research this, I have found:

42 inch Plasma : 300 watts

42 inch LED : 100 watts

Think of how much heat a 100-watt light bulb produces. These specs are for most recent TVs, so a new plasma today may be as efficient as an older LCD/Florescent TV of yesteryear, though.

I am also torn between Panasonic Viera plasma or LG LED. I am leaning towards LED because, unless I had a nice dark cinema area, in which case I would absolutely go with plasma, I have this suspicion that I would enjoy most DVD/BluRay material just as much -- basically having shear definition compensate for the color nuance that plasma achieves -- just my guess, having never experienced much of either -- and I am open to suggestions on this as well.
