TV Selection: Two Questions
After reading a bit deeper I see those chart readings are default settings. I would think most audiophiles would either adjust pic setting themselves or have pro calibration which subdues the pic quite a bit. The difference listed in Juice Box of ...

"Here's your answer 139 HDTVs' power consumption compared."Gmood1, don't believe everything you read. My set listing is 60 watts higher than what I actually see. Doesn't say whether that is an average or maximum or does it take into account pictur...
