Originally posted by zeitghostAh yes, the cunning plan to reduce power consumption, save the whales, stop gloabal warming by increasing the power consumption of a tv from about 75W to 300 to 400W.
Some of those plasma tvs resemble an electric fire.
For example:
- 2012 Panasonic Plasma TX-P 42" (a very large screen size compared most old CRT screens) has a power consumption of 148W.
- 2001 Sony Trinitron CRT 36" consumed 160W.
A latest generation Samsung 55" LED consumes just over 100W.
So, all in all, modern TVs have become hugely power efficient for the vast screen sizes they offer.nomadd liked this postComment

A cartoon in the 70s depicted two TV engineers looking under the bonnet of their van, one suggesting to the other that they try a hammer. Everyone immediately saw the joke.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment
