I know that lcd and crt sets dont use a large amount of power, but
I've heard that the plasma tv sets suck a huge amount of power, and
produce a lot of heat as a result. Being someone who has the tv on
almost all the time, I dont want a plasma type. I read that of the
three, the crt sets use the least power, but the lcd ones are just a
slight increase, unlike the plasma sets that are more like electric
space heaters as far as power usage. For that matter, I have never
understood how a plasma set works anyhow.

For same screen area, CRT uses the most power, plasma uses a little
less, and LCD uses the least. Plasma TVs are big power consumers by
generally being made in larger sizes.
