How Many Plasmas Going?

I have two Samsung 42" 720s. My wife watches one of them nearly all day. Still has a GREAT picture!

I never had a Plasma, is it true they give off heat, enough to help keep a room warm?

You would not like my reply, personally!

Yes.

Actually, that heat and overall inefficiency doomed it. They couldn’t meet new CA TV efficiency standards.

What is your deal, I was actually curious, at least someone else answer very nicely.

Some of the early models consumed as much as 400 watts. That power turned mostly into heat.

A 42" plasma consumes around 220W depending on vintage.

Around Christmas time, I retired my Last Pioneer Elite Plasma, it still worked great, just replaced it with a Sony A90

My TH-42PX75U Panasonic (2012) is still healthy. Yah about 400 watts power use.
Its in the basement and used rarely. Still I'm not giving it up. Only 720p but a great picture and real sound.

Did you give it a decent burial?
