Minimum size of consumer plasma TVs starts at 37" and their energy
consumption is about 3 times the CRT TVs.
LCD TVs come in much smaller sizes but still consume around 43% more
energy than the old CRTs. However, Californian environmentalists have
determined that TVs in general account for 10% of all energy usage and
have legislated that they must consume 33% less energy by 2011 and 50%
less energy by 2013. Thus new TVs will be more expensive as they try
to meet these higher standards.
