Quote:
There's a lot of talk about 3D TV these days, with some folks even thinking it will make an overture toward mainstream acceptance in 2010. Certainly, 3D TV is going to be a big topic at the Consumer Electronics Showcase in January, but that doesn't mean a majority of consumers will be watching scads of 3D programming in the new year.

Dec 09 Consumer Reports

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009
Just received my Dec CR.
Concerning energy costs of LCDs and plasma TVs:
"Costs are similar for most new LCD and plasma TVs of comparable size, a change from the past."

i.e. Energy costs
Panasonic Viera TC-P54V10 54 inch plasma $49/year
Toshiba Regza 55ZV650U 55 inch LCD $58/year

So a plasma and a LCD will use about the same amount of energy, so why ban or tax the plasma more?
