I walked past a wall-filled display of plasma’s at a local market and it was like walking past a blast furnace.

LCD’s seem warm too, but not nearly like that. And I really can’t tell the difference in the picture quality.

I was fortunate enough to get a REALLY great deal on a plasma TV a couple of months ago and I don't notice heat from it.

I'm pretty sure though, that the OLD vacuum tube type TVs used a LOT more power per square inch of viewing area than even plasma sets do.

The guy that advocates this is probably also guilty of wealth envy and this is just another way to 'get at' those nasty people that have money and won't give it to him.

“And I really can’t tell the difference in the picture quality.”

Interesting. When I look at groups of these TV’s in the stores, I see a grittiness and pixellation in LCD pictures that I don’t see with plasma. Maybe it’s the resolution of the source material.
