i have read reports on here that with average use a plasma will use about £30 a year more in electricity than an equivalent LED, which i think is not a lot to pay for better picture quality.
Well,
He read a so called good review site(digitalversus.com) and it says that the TXP42G20B which i was about to buy uses 650watts??? and only gives it 1 star on power usage.
(Thing is i cant find that model on there, closest is the 42g15 which is 248w usage)
So,
Even though panasonic themselves only state 290w he insists this site is right and thats the end of it??????????
The 42G20 uses nearer 150 watts when running.
yeah but you'll also have to get the TV topped up with Gas after 2 years tho.
yer dad needs to stop being so narrow minded.
fathers, they are stubborn at times. having said that, mine loves his LG 42" plasma and doesnt care how much leccy it uses.
So true mate,
He has decided plasma bad, led/lcd good and thats it
I showed him this thread earlier and he said "oh, 150w thats not that bad,ok plasma ok" then later on he read another site which stated 240w usage and plasma banned again.

I can't tell from your posting if your seriously saying plasmas need regassing or not but put simply they don't. Maybe in the depths of time there was some early plasma tv that benefitted from regassing
please tell me it does not cost £300 a year to run a plasma!!!!!
almost put off the plasma then!
im hoping that its not terribly expensive to run. everywhere ive googled i cant actually get a rough estimate? is it around £100-£200 to run a year? say 4 hours a day.
