There is basically no difference in the average consumption of
an LCD equivalent in size to a 42 in. modern plasma TV. This is
well documented by tests made by various laboratories. The
explanation is quite simple: a plasma TV consumes a variable
amount of power, depending on the image shown (the tests
were made with several kinds of movies, because the movie you
play has a great impact: thrillers tends to be darker, while
cartoons use more light). When a plasma screen is black, the
consumption drops to about 65 W.
On the other hand, due to its backlight system, for LCDs the
power consumption is virtually constant, no matter if the screen
is bright white or totally black: the LCD simply switches the
backlit light on and off for every colour pixel. The power
consumption for a 42 in LCD goes between 150 and 180W.
So while the power consumption indicated on plasma TVs is the
maximum, on the LCD TVs +it+ is indeed the power that is
constantly drawn.

The demo will be HD content and so dont be floored too much by the standard demos if more than 90% of your viewing is "cable TV and standard DVD"
