Power consumption for plasmas is certainly worse than LCD - mine uses 280W.
But then my Myth box probably uses in excess of 100W, and unlike the plasma
it's on 24/7. Or think of it this way: my plasma uses the same amount of
power in 6 hours that my electric heater uses in 40 minutes. In terms of
cost it works out to about 5c per hour. I probably have the plasma on for
about 4 hours a day, so it's costing about $50 per year more than the
Philips LCD you are considering.

Cheers,
Steve
