Panasonic TC-P55ST50 3D Plasma HDTV Review

Power Consumption

Plasma TVs often consume a heck of a lot more power than LCDs. It is just the nature of the technology, forcing gases into a plasma state and then electrifying them into activation takes a good amount of energy apparently. In any case, this low-light emitter cost relatively little for an average year of use. At only about twice as much as an average LCD model, and an eco mode that will turn the television off when there is no signal, the TC-P55ST50 is definitely eco-friendly.
