I'd guess your 1080p plasma also weighed 50+ pounds and consumed a few hundred watts of electricity vs. new TVs that are super light and much more energy efficient. So that's another big reason to consider upgrading from a plasma (or at least one less reason to hang on to old tech).
- bzzzt 4y agoI've still got one of the last (NeoPDP) plasma displays. While it uses a bit more energy than OLED it's not 'a few hundred watts', but tens of watts. Also, since TV's have become cheaper a new TV will probably be a bigger one which uses more energy so there's less energy saving. Manufacturing a new TV will be a bigger energy sink than just using the old one a bit longer.
- yourusername 4y agoYou're right about power usage but why would i care how much my TV weighs? I don't regularly have to carry it and if you're moving once every few years it doesn't matter is a tv is 100 lbs or 10 lbs.
- ProllyInfamous 4y agoYes, for specifics (I still run a 50" Plasma "in the garage, " which was recently replaced with a 55" OLED 4K): 50" Plasma: 290-430 watts, depending on image; refresh rate is SLOW & obvious; I only run this in the wintertime, for "space heating" 55" OLED: 90 watts, twice as bright; colors are INCREDIBLE, almost as good as my ICR10 monitor that costs 3x per pixel; The 55" OLED has the same pixel density as a 30" Cinema Display, but the pixels are brighter and take up more of the area (i.e. there isn't as much "support network" / black) and is obviously 4K.
