If you want to drive lots and lots, buy a cycle..
Sorry but bad comparison. Cycle and car are very different. A better comparison would have been - plasma petrol car and lcd diesel lol except that the difference is much greater between plasma and lcd power consumption. Check cnet, plasma models are three to four times more expensive to run.

Both the plasma and lcd have max power consumption during high brightness or backlight setting.
But at peak brightness a lcd can be close to 500 cd/m2 at low backlight setting they can still give around 120 to 150 cd/m2,which is usually the peak brightness of most plasma.
During a full screen white or with high APL a plasma can be as low as 1/3rd their peak brightness,this is when the fans start spinning fast and one may also hear the power supply buzzing.
The recent year energy laws means that current plasma will have a tough time beating the kuro,since manufactures have to work with the current limitations of plasma panel efficiency.

The only thing pioneer plasma and current shard made lcd have in common is the brand name,perhaps with pioneer assitance in image processing which sharp always lagged.
VT30 ain't by no means cheap,its lcd competitor is the HX92x which is much cheaper then the sharp elite lcd and its more then a match to the Vt30.
Both still have their native pros and cons,but its upto the user to decide if he or she can live with it.
Isn't a full white image required for plasma so that all bulbs light up for max consumption?
Aren't LCD with CFL/LED without dimming at their brightest on 100% brightness irrespective of white/dark image on screen?
Eg plasma with 100% brightness and dark scene image, few plasma bulbs will light, thus consumption is very less. But LCD CFL/LED and no dimming with 100% brightness will be at or close to max power consumption even if screen image is dark.
Yes a full white images displayed is when plasma has their max power consumption.
Yes non dimming lcds their power consumption is the same irrespective of white or dark images,but some tvs like the samsung lcd/led is know to dim the backlight if it detects a low APL.
You must also note that a plasma can never match the lcd in brightness,so even with a low backlight setting they still match the plasma peak brightness and also consumer significantly less,even more so in led lit lcds.
If you choose the power saving option in lcd for eg in Sony /samsung if switch on the light sensor or power saving option to medium you make it just as dim as a plasma if the need arises and you will see a 40" tv consuming around 50watt during this setting,it you put it to high setting for eg if you want to save power during UPS/inverter back up mode it can consume as low as 35watt for a 40" edge led-lcdtv

Go with what your eyes tell you.

The lg will have poor contrast compared to the plasma,if you want a high contrast lcd you will have to go with a samsung/sony lcd which have VA panels which have high perceived contrast both in day and night.
If you have a bright room ,light coming from tv front or front sides ,a lcd is recommended.

VT30 black level value - 0.0062 cd/m2
HX92 Black level value - 0.0001 cd/m2
KURO Black level value - 0.0001 cd/m2
SIGNIFICANT difference in black level performance.

Buy anything but LG.
Source?
Iam sure 9th gen kuro is around 0.003.
0.0001 is impossible for LCD or plasma.
Hahahaha..nice pj..If you want to drive lots and lots, buy a cycle..
It is not 4 times, but may be 2 to 2.5 times. But the initial buying cost for a regular plasma screen for 42 inch model is 33k to 42k. where as led tv is 55k to 65k. That is nearly 25k more
. even if you take 100rs additional per month for plasma tv use over an led it ll take 20 years to make up for the initial cost difference you have to shell out more for an led. Money saved now is of more value than money saved later:clapping:.avmaxfan

Do you have the cnet link? Iam sure they are lying out of their teeth..
There aren't even instruments available to measure 0.0001.

There are instruments that can measure such low black levels. They are very expensive though.
And if you don't believe the black level value go to a showroom that has HX925 in a dark room and see if you can even tell the black bars in a movie.
