TV energy consumption

Here’s something I really did not know.  I fully ASSUMED that the newer technologies reduced energy consumption by a lot.  However, that’s not necessarily true.  Here’s a list of TV’s with their energy consumption ranked best to last:

You have to go all the way to #41 to get the older style rear projection screen.  Pretty amazing to me.  Guess it pays to double check what you take for granted sometimes huh?  This was brought to my attention because California is now regulating tv power usage.
