Well, compare the 55" Panasonic VIERA, which is specified as consuming only 119W when on. This is typical of most of Panasonics newer sets. You can thank California's regulatory system for forcing the issues with manufacturers. I'm sure you can still find less efficient plasmas, but most today are far more power efficient than plasmas of the past. In many cases, they even consume less than the same size LCD/LED sets. Also, power specs are max, with brightness/contrast set at max levels. If you calibrate your set (and you should), you will be at much less on brightness and contrast. Also, the spec is with a totally white screen, which is not that common, at least for extended periods of time.
