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.
