The TV As An Energy Hog: "Well, that's what the headlines that caught my eye basically were saying. TV gluttony is confusing the environmental issues around energy consumption.
When I pondered why my LCD monitor would be more energy efficient than my old CRT monitor it didn't make sense the opposite would be true for TVs. With some digging around I learned LCDs are up to 66 percent more energy efficient than CRTs in the computer monitor world, so I expect that's true in the TV world -- when you compare like-sized TVs. And, to make the argument for LCDs even stronger, they produce less heat, meaning you don't need as much AC cooling."
