Plasmas use a lot more electricity than LCDs. I hope LCD makes plasma obsolete.

Year 2010 called. It wants to tell you that you live in year 2006 when plasmas were energy hogs.

Both the 3d plasma and 3d LCD from samsung have Energy star rating of 4.0.

The best LCDs are more efficient even though plasmas have improved. I don't think that will ever change.

I wouldn't rely too much on Energy Star either, the program is under federal review because of widespread fraud and abuse of the certification process. The GAO submitted fake products which such as a gas powered alarm clock and a air cleaner that was actually a space heater and they got Energy Star approved.



Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.
