We were never going to upgrade from our trusty 25 year old Sanyo telly, but Mum, for the $2 cost of a raffle ticket won an AWA 103 cm, 720i Plasma. Watching NRL and cricket is excellent, as both are broadcast in HD. One can almost see the individual blades of grass on the field.
By default most new TVs seem to have the brightness wound up far too high by default. Our plasma was using around 300 watts, but I noticed consumption drop in darker scenes, so I turned down the brightness to a still acceptable level, actually closer to our old TV, and now usage is down to 150 watts plus it runs a lot cooler. It will surely extend the life of the set.
