Although I am considering a Vizio Eco line LCD – Vizio VECO320L 32” LCD HDTV

Power Consumption 84W (average), 0.4W standby.

No I don’t work for Vizio..

I agree completely, we recently traded up from an old 24″ non-flat screen to a more efficient and slightly larger 37″. I don’t like watching huge TVs either, and hate the way they look in a room, but this size is great. Sales people are generally there just to tell you what you want to hear, which isn’t necessarily consistent with valid information. Even before the new stickers are released and displayed on TVs, look for 50 inches or under at 109KW or less.

My husband has been wanting to trade “up” to a much larger screen when the time comes to change our now 24″ set. I have been resisting, based on environmental concerns, hoping that there may be a compromise possible through technical advances in the products. I personally feel that the really big screens are unpleasant to watch, but now I have an actual set size to focus on should we be in a position to need to trade this one in. I don’t generally find sales people to be the best source on the topic when we shop, so other sources are critical when looking for energy using products.
