Are you going on old school plasmas? Or are you talking about how a plasma might use 20% more energy? At that rate you're talking less than 10 bucks a year. Not a reason to make a TV choice in my book....

But I think for most people and their needs 120hz is perfectly fine. That will help cut some cost and give you great picture performance. Until the media industry creates an actual 120hz or higher signal rate I won't spend the extra money just so I can say I have a 240hz tv seeing as it will look pretty much the same as my Toshiba 120.
Wow, did not know that.
Good to know....thanks.

^^^ No problem. Currently all input signals received are at 60hz. The tv layers the rates so you get 120 and 240 but it is not a true number. Its like a dvd player that up-converts to HD..looks better but is not really HD

If you want, I'm selling my Sony KDL55 W900a, it's literally brand new. I've been @ college and it's just sitting in my room at home. So if anyone wants it, just message me.
