That’s really huge.. what really important is that it’s green, whatever it is, if it is made with recyclable materials then I’ll give it a go.

Thank you for making this information available. My friends think I am an environmental freak. I bother them all the time about stopping the Holcomb coal plant in Kansas. But the truth is, I am going to buy a 42 inch tv. It is amazing how hard it is to find info on energy consumption of tvs. I hope to buy a new led backlit tv. I just wish there was more info about energy savings available. Please continue helping the sinners make less sinful decisions. Not everyone is a saint.

I’m sorry to broadcast my ignorance but is the power consumption stated for each t.v. the by-the-hour figure?

I agree with your approach on GetWithGreen.com. For people who are going to buy a 50″ plasma TV anyway, it’s nice to have information at hand to make informed decisions. Therefore, I applaud you guys for making useful information available to consumers.

I just stumbled on this page looking for some stats on large format TV’s and power consumption. I was reading the article over here:

http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/afp/080307/technology/lifestyle_germany_it_telecom_climate_videogames

I just wanted to point out that TV in general uses far more power than the 18 Watt Wii does, or even the 185 or 193 watt XBOX or PS3 does. I would complain to the idiots that wrote the article I linked, but I can’t find a comment button there. No wonder with their quality of articles.

Dave,

Thank you for your comment, and we agree with you – as does the team at Treehugger who editorially refused to recognize this article because they found it controversial as well.

The fact is that homeowners are purchasing 50″ plasma TV’s in greater numbers each day — and we believe they will continue to do so.

At GetWithGreen.com we are working to help inform our readers of decisions they can make to get a bit greener during their remodel project. Market forces/pressures are still too great to “do the norm” during the purchase process, rather than assume that everyone will buy what is best for our environment (e.g. the TVs you suggested). We just hope our readers take a few moments to review their options, and do a few small things to make a difference…such as purchase a brand of television that is a bit more efficient than another.

Thanks again for your comment. We TRULEY appreciate, and value your thoughts!

It’s incredibly bizarre that you are even suggesting that a 50 inch TV is something someone who loves the earth should even consider. One of these TVs could be the single biggest electricty users in a house; even more than a refrigerator. If someone were to buy one of these, it would be driving their total home energy use UP. We should be aiming for zero energy homes, and these TVs are entirely inappropriate. Please, stick with 20 inch or 27 inch.
