ROTFL story:
Some relatives of mine recently bought a Panasonic 1080p 42" plasma (fantastic picture, IMO). As they were unpacking the set from the carton, the wife said "Well, I'm glad we won't be using that old set anymore, it was really costing us on the electricity bills!"
At this point, I checked the boiler plates on both the plasma and their old set (32" color analog-only CRT with solid-state chassis). The plasma uses almost 600 watts, but the CRT only 140!
I wonder if anyone could offer their opinion on two rumors I've heard (I have nothing to back these up).:
1) (per a ham radio operator): "Plasmas produce a huge amount of RFI, LCDs are much (RF) cleaner".
2) (per someone who works in a shop that does TV repairs): "all flat screen TVs need a repair within three years, EVERY brand, ALL of them!!"
