depends on what you mean by a lot. Plasmas are rated for a lot more energy draw than you actually see. When calibrated PROPER ntsc and you have a full white display (most energy on a plasma) my 42 inch panasonic only draws maybe 130 watts from the wall. The manual says it can take up to 400 watts though. What you actually see is far less... and a comparable LCD might be 2/3rds that so you are talking a difference of mere dollars a year for a significant picture increase.

Given the investment a TV really is plasma is still the best value. The money saved in electricity will almost never be recouped over its usable lifetime for a spendy lcd tv that even comes close to plasma PQ.

99% sure your lcd specs are for ccfl lcd's, not led/lcd's. i've never heard of led/lcd's using 2/3rds the energy of plasmas. more like 1/5th or less.

LED is not that much more efficient than CCFL.
