Flat Panel Energy
The article on energy consumption has certainly grabbed my attention. I have been really surprised by the heat given off by the recent addition to our household – the Vizio 42″ plasma screen HDTV.
I selected this TV based on reviews that praised the SD encoders from analog content (such as our dependable Series II Tivo) and it’s worked out well.
The Apple TV box went online this past weekend.
I have noticed the heat – pretty appropriate since it was mounted above a (now unused) fireplace.
I noticed that a similar unit was on the skids at Sam’s Club from Vizio – only this one was a 42inch LCD. Ir would be interesting to look at the power specs.
Of course, that would make me depressed – and with winter coming, the Plasma might be a good dual purpose unit – TV and space heater all in one.
How’s that for some late night TV shopping from a marketing perspective ?
