I guess I have heard, and read something somewhere enough to believe it, that given the same size computer monitor, a newer LED one uses less electricity than old CRT (cathode ray tube?). I didn't take HD into account.<br /><br />I'm sure a $2500 awesome HD TV that does the dishes and gives handjobs would indeed suck a lot of energy. I'm sure your money is better spent elsewhere. But it may have been part of 9C's point that if one needed a new TV, a flatscreen that fits your needs is probably a good deal.<br /><br />I don't plan on buying anything like that anytime soon either.Zenslingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06040836002694584468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-2249325232769089002010-03-12T13:23:15.590-08:002010-03-12T13:23:15.590-08:00It's not only bigger screens, it's also HD...It's not only bigger screens, it's also HD.

I know that's true of computer monitors.</i><br /><br />Bigger screens use more power. I'm sorry to be so argumentative, but this is a fact.<br /><br />I could post half a dozen links on this, it's well documented. Here's a good one: <a href="http://www.lcec.net/tips/brochures/Big%20Screen%20TVs.pdf" rel="nofollow">link</a>. Chart on page 2.<br /><br />You may be confusing energy efficiecy with raw energy use. New appliances may be more energy efficient, but large appliances use more power than smaller ones.laura khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524593142290489958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-77025549439008833102010-03-12T13:08:54.894-08:002010-03-12T13:08:54.894-08:00I think 9Casey's right that newer displays use...I think 9Casey's right that newer displays use less energy in general than traditional tube TVs.

Definitely not worth it to me. Beyond not worth it - more like I'd do a few hundred other things first. Buy a better camera, take a few trips, pay tuition, etc. etc. Many etcs.<br /><br />(Also big screen TVs do use much more energy than ones w/ smaller screens. Not my main reason, but they do.)laura khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524593142290489958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-18412970304809040212010-03-11T19:32:43.384-08:002010-03-11T19:32:43.384-08:00L-girl said...
