Actually that's a myth. the LCDs are more power hungry than a CRT. the difference is that a CRT wastes a lot in the form of heat from the back of the television set. but a
LCD has not only a high-voltage fluorescent backlight, but it also still uses a few kilovolts to power the flat panel as well.
Besides, i use only CRT because even the LCDs today have terrible black levels, they glare badly, and SD-reception is horrific. i'll wait until i have the money and every channel is in
HD. and when they fix the viewing angles (Still need to be right in front of them for a clear picture) and the black levels are more up to snuff. and not have a 25" (same as my console) cost triple the price.
