LED vs Plasma, 60" vs 65"

Yes there are several that still are engery star rated. I think the 65" ST series is rated for 32 bucks for what the energy sticker claims. I saw it the other day when shopping, and personally don't pay much attention to it.

I love my VT25 and feel it gives me the best pic that I can get. I did a cali disk but also got more out of it once it was calibrated by ISF cert.

I have been thinking of getting the new VT50 once it hits and seeing how that is. Samsung higher end Plasma's are very nice but there are some good deals to be had right now on the 2011 Pannys.

LED while giving a good picture quality is still not as good as the Plasma IMO. Samsung is to release the OLED later this year however price is said to be very high. I would really like to see the OLED and how it compares as it should get closer to plasma.

Your current LED sets are still LCD panels with LED lighting. It is an improvement over regular LCD's but still don't have the PQ of plasma.

My panny is energy star rated. I'm pretty sure that every new panny Plasma is energy star rated. Current plasma sets use about half the power they used when the techology was new.

Until LED can out perform my Plasma sets at the same price point I'll stick with Plasma technology.

While I understand energy consumption concerns, I read somewhere that Plasma (flat screens in general actually) use far less energy than our old tube TV's, so it's all relative I guess.

I would recommend to go with display instead of TV. Like http://www.panasonic.com/business/plasma/TH-60PF30U.asp#?cm_sp=Pro%20Displays%20Site%20Promotions-_-Product%20Detail%20Page-_-Photo%20Gallery%20View

Better quality,but less bells and whistles.

Plasma is the way to go. Far better blacks, so if you are a fan of art film in particular this is very important. Also, the motion is better, so if you are a sports fan there is no comparison even with the new LEDs.

As far as energy consumption goes, a regular light bulb will consume much more energy. I really don't understand the concern with this. They don't use much power compared to most other things in your house. However, yes, most of them are energy star rated. My Panasonic, which is the brand I would recommend, has an energy saver mode. It also shuts itself down after a certain amount of time of inactivity.
