Hi!..could you please tell me which TV uses the most amount of electricity,is it?..CRT, LCD or Plasma cheers!
Answer:
It appears that the average power consumption of each type of CRT, LCD and Plasma screens is 0.35 watts per square inch. A 42 inch screen has 72% more square inches that one of 32 inch.

i think it is plasma, and they get really hot after a while too.if you want a new TV, LCD is the best by a mile
For me it was the Plasma. I have a 42' Hitachi and the electric bill increased by almost 25%. I love it, so it is worth it. It's also gets very warm, so the A/C may run more too.
I have been told that plasma tv's use a large amount of electricity.
On average Plasma TVs use more than twice the power of 32-inch LCD screens and 2.5 times as much as conventional 32-inch widescreens. Admittedly part of that reason is their larger size (Plasma TVs tend to be 42-inches) but even similar sized LCD screens use less power than 42-inch Plasma sets. On average new technology TVs use more power than CRTs but developments in power-saving and light sensor technology is beginning to close the gap. And of course IDTVs have the capacity to receive digital signals without the need for a set top box. This means they do the same as a TV plus a set top box but with one power supply rather than two.
The energy hogs are in as follows:
1) CRT
2) Projectors
3) Plasma
4) DLP
4) LCD
This applies to either rear or direct view models.
