How do these compare in electric usage terms, does one use more than another for a comparable size screen? Just asking because someone said their electric bill had gone substantially when they got a 42" Plasma.. Anyone know any more about SED? |

Plasmas have a short life expectancy (5 years on average), suffer from burn-in quickly and eat leccy in comparison to LCD. They use gas plasma and require lots of juice to produce the picture. A decent CRT will be cheapest and give you the best picture unless you're planning on investing in HD anytime soon  There are also rear projection screens which are essentially a projection enclosure for a LCD projector. The bulbs can be expensive tho.

The bulbs can be expensive tho.Wrong, My Plasma has a far better picture than my CRT TV could ever produce and im not running HD as yet ! My plasma has a higher resolution and runs progressive scan yada yada yada ! I have also had my plasma for nearly three years with no sign of burn in ! When you say life expectancy or MTBF- plamsa's are measured in thousands of hours continuous use. |

most of the burn and life expectancy issues have pretty much been sorted now, the original plasma's wernt that good. but the price is still so prohibitive. i have a 100" plus hd projector and while it is stunning, the brightness of a plasma is a bit better, its not worth the excessive money.(close the curtains) my projector is about 1500stg the 100" plasma i'm sure will be way,way above that(still want one though) I believe that the lcd tv's use a fair bit less leccy |
