Plasma

It’s a fact that any household electronics component uses some energy. Some more than others. However, plasma only uses enough power to illuminate the pixels according to picture content. Bright scenes require more power, while dark scenes use little. It’s even better when you consider the tremendous enjoyment you receive from the TV. Watching a plasma for eight hours a day every day for a month costs less than the cost of a movie ticket, less than two gallons of gas and a fraction of the monthly charge for cable or satellite. Virtually all 2006/2007 plasma TV models on the market from Coalition members are ENERGY STAR® compliant.*

* Tests were based on a 30-day month at 8 hours per day of viewing. Rates were based on 8¢ per kilowatt hour. Monthly costs ranged from $5.95 to $9.03. ENERGY STAR® designates efficiency in standby or off mode only.
