On my Sony 46″ LCD TV, the backlight on the maximum setting uses 100 watts more than the backlight on the mininimum setting (237 watts vs 137 watts). My Kill-a-Watt also says my Sharp 26″ LCD TV showed a similar correlation between the backlight setting and energy usage. The Sony 46″ LCD TV has a Power Saving setting which reduces energy usage to 87 watts (instead of 137 watts), though the picture is pretty dim in Power Saving mode. No other picture settings other than backlight had any effect on the power usage.

Power consumption LCD vs Plasma:

The article is not correct about power consumption differences between plasma and LCD. The article is probably based on the manufacturers quoted numbers (which deserves a foot note) the consumption of an LCD display is constant and will not change in relation of the displayed image (the manuf.quoted numbers are in this case the min.,max and average consumption) A plasma screen will consume less power when the displayed image is dark and more when light, The quoted figure is the maximum power consumption. In daily usage the difference between lcd and plasma is very little.

Below the results of a test done in Germany:

Test done by AVt.o.p. messtechnic in Germany, they tested a panasonic 42px60 plasma, LG 42LC2R LCD, Philips 42PF7621D LCD, Sony 40s200 LCD and a Samsung LE40R71B LCD. They measured the total energy consumed watching movies from DVD

Result watching 6 days, 7 nights (German version) (This is a movie that is quiet bright)

1. LG 42″ LCD 200.10 Wh
2. Sony 40″ LCD 208.60 Wh
3. Philips 42″ LCD 218.90 Wh
4. Panasonic 42″ Plasma 230.40 Wh
5. Samsung 40″ LCD 239.20 Wh

Result watching X-Men (A rather dark movie)

1. Panasonic 42″ Plasma 200.80 Wh
2. LG 42″ LCD 205.70 Wh
3. Sony 40″ LCD 213.80 Wh
4. Philips 42″ LCD 224.60 Wh
5. Samsung 40″ LCD 246.70 Wh

The Sony and Samsung were 2″ smaller then the rest of the screens but they could not take advantage of this fact. (The Samsung actually preformed the worse in both movies)

One thing I can tell you is that if you live above approx. 6,500ft sea level, LCD is your only choice. Plasma TV’s, because of some interaction with the gas envelope that I only vaguely understood, tend to buzz and burn out in weeks or months at high altitude. I found this out in Santa Fe when the Best Buy salesman made sure I wasn’t a Los Alamos resident before selling me a plasma TV.

PS for my money plasma is still much better than LCD in matching price ranges.
