A 42" class plasma will consume about the same amount of electricity for 3 to 4 hours of daily use as a modern full size refrigerator consumes in 24 hours. The WSJ says to add $200/year to your electric bill for the purchase of each large plasma (this obviously varies by location and usage). LCDs are more efficient, but still relatively high energy users. Roughly a third less than a plasma. Old-school CRTs are by far the more energy efficient.
Plasam burn in issue is not a factor as it used to be, and Green.....well thats more a political choice but for video use (and I assume thats what its really about) Plasam is still at this point the better option for total picture wuality. If you arw a green follower, or worried about Plasama reflective gloss screen then LCS is best. I would take Plasma and hug a tree but thats just me.
