DON'T buy a Plasma. Plasmas use a lot more electricity than LCDs, and energy prices are increasing a lot. It's very possible prices will get even worse, you will want to have as few energy-guzzlers as possible in your house.

Power usages vary wildly between makes and models; some LCDs use virtually as much power as plasmas at the same screen size.  Really, if someone is buying a $2000 TV, they can probably afford a few extra watts to power it.

 

Every LCD vs Plasma comparison I've seen gives a significant advantage to LCDs in terms of power consumption. If you have any links saying otherwise, please post.
