My issue with plasma has been that they're supposedly prone to burn-in
(though can be cleaned) if you leave a given image on too long.

For power, I've heard it depends on viewing. Overall higher, but an LCD is
supposed to use more power on darker images (space movies anyone) because
it's actually having to block the backlight.

I'm skipping the LED backlight and holding out for OLED TV's. It's finally
gaining momentum in mobile devices etc so hopefully will scale up over the
next few years...
