They're certainly going to be more durable. The TV system was one area where I said, "Aw, screw it!" I just installed a projector and called it good, trying hard not to think about the cumulative ~400W draw I now use to watch TV at a moderate volume. Fortunately, I practically never turn it on these days. But when I do, hoo boy, that 6' screen is pretty cool. @ManchuCandidate: Well, LED backlights are becoming available on laptops, and I think they’re a bit more power efficient than cold-cathode backlights, but that’s just an impression.

Plasma I understand, but LCD is a bit boggling. I guess when they design LCD TVs, they're not going for lowest-possible power consumption, and LED backlights are still rare on LCDs. @nojo: I dunno, an efficient CRT TV usually lists lower power consumption than a similarly sized LCD or plasma TV from the research I’ve done.

But they cite a 2002 study, when LCD monitors were still somewhat rare (except for laptops). I'll guess that you save more power by just ditching the tube, never mind what you display with it. @blogenfreude: Heard of it a few days ago.
