LED vs Plasma, 60" vs 65"

My panny is energy star rated. I'm pretty sure that every new panny Plasma is energy star rated. Current plasma sets use about half the power they used when the techology was new.

Until LED can out perform my Plasma sets at the same price point I'll stick with Plasma technology.

While I understand energy consumption concerns, I read somewhere that Plasma (flat screens in general actually) use far less energy than our old tube TV's, so it's all relative I guess.

I would recommend to go with display instead of TV. Like http://www.panasonic.com/business/plasma/TH-60PF30U.asp#?cm_sp=Pro%20Displays%20Site%20Promotions-_-Product%20Detail%20Page-_-Photo%20Gallery%20View

Better quality,but less bells and whistles.

Plasma is the way to go. Far better blacks, so if you are a fan of art film in particular this is very important. Also, the motion is better, so if you are a sports fan there is no comparison even with the new LEDs.

As far as energy consumption goes, a regular light bulb will consume much more energy. I really don't understand the concern with this. They don't use much power compared to most other things in your house. However, yes, most of them are energy star rated. My Panasonic, which is the brand I would recommend, has an energy saver mode. It also shuts itself down after a certain amount of time of inactivity.

Do the plasmas still have reflection issues for those of us with lots of natural light in our rooms? Reflections drive me crazier than I already am.
