Lcd Electric
Looking to buy LCD, heard it uses more electricity?
I thought about buying 32"-36" HD ready, 16:9, 720pi LCD TV. I heard that it uses more electricity than a tube TV. Why is that so? And what about a plasma TV? And what do you recommend would be a better LCD or dlp or plasma TV for best electric saving TV? Thanks!
Wow, great Mark! Then tell us why all plugged in electronics are still using electricity even though they are off?
Actually an LCD uses less than a Tube (CRT) or a Plasma. Most LCD's use a Compact Flourescent bulb for their lighting but the nicer Samsungs use LED, this is the most efficient method out there with the exception of OLED displays but those are about 10x the cost of a regular LCD.
LED DLP is also a great choice if you are energy conscious.
You should be aware though that NO TV is particularly energy efficient, and you will never make back the cost of the electricity for the difference in price between them.
LCD's have less Lead than CRTs
CRT's have less Mercury than LCDs
Plasma's have more of both than either. Plasma is probably the worst TV environmentally.
What ever TV you get you should take the time to calibrate it using the Sexy Girl Calibration Images.
