    I'm out of touch with TV and with TV technology. I still use a 720 pixel "HDTV"
    from 2010. Could any consumers actually be concerned with the amount of >electricity their TV uses? (They really just need to turn them off!)

    I can remember back when the discussion was plasma vs. LED there were
    people who preferred one over the other because they used less power and/or created less heat (making their AC run more). So, yeah, some consumers do worry about that and, since they overall seem more worried about climate change, I would expect left-leaning folks to worry more about it.

    They're nuts (I guess we've already established that years ago.) I don't get why people don't pull the plug on electronics when those electronics start to cause harm.

    An old SNL sketch comes to mind: "It hurts when I do this...." (Don't do that then!)
