My old plasma TV is 600 Hz and I can't get $20 for it. Sometimes fast enough is fast enough.

- arthurfm 9y agoIsn't that due to the very high energy consumption [1] than refresh rate? Who would want a TV that consumes ~300-600 watts per hour? [1] https://www.treehugger.com/gadgets/plasma-tvs-suck-electricity.html https://www.treehugger.com/gadgets/plasma-tvs-suck-electrici...
- Buge 9y ago>300-600 watts per hour Watt is a measure of energy/time. It doesn't make sense to say watts per hour.
- Tsiklon 9y agoElectricity consumption is traditionally metered per kilowatt hour, that is the amount of energy used sustained over the course of an hour. I believe this is what the GP was referring to - the sustained usage of 300-600W over the course of an hour. Thus being very expensive to run for long periods of time. In my area I’m charged at 16.56 pence per kilowatt hour, meaning at an average consumption rate of 450w - that television would cost me in the region of £13.41 a month to run, assuming 6hours usage per night. Which is quite expensive.
- arthurfm 9y ago> It doesn't make sense to say watts per hour. Perhaps, but that doesn't change the fact that Plasma TVs are generally more expensive to run than modern LCD or OLED TVs. [1] Pioneer's 9th generation Kuro KRP-600A had an operating power consumption of 478 watts.

- muro 9y agoThat was true only for the very old plasmas. Newer ones were comparable to same age LCDs.
- jhasse 9y agoCan it handle a 144 Hz input signal?
