So, nobody remembers when plasma TV's normally ate 600W of electricity? This lasted well into the end of the last decade, with bigger plasma TV's, which kept at the ~600W figure.
Problem is, plasma TV's are hardly anywhere to be found. I agree, it sucks that plasma is pretty much dead.
It's time for me to find the best-of-the-best plasma TV's on Craigslist (that of course have low mileage on them) and just start collecting them, lol. Like I did with my Sony GDM-FW900 CRT's that I still have on 2 of my desks that are between 13 and 15 years old (still much-appreciated 16:10, 2560x1600 @ 69Hz or a much better balance of 2304x1440 at a decent 80Hz).
It's amazing how technology can really stagnate for well over a decade. LCD's were stuck at 60Hz for like, forever, with sub-par color quality, black level, response time, input lag and lack of 3D support. Pity there cannot be a large HDTV (say, 60-80") with 120+Hz and a choice of Gsync/ULMB 3DVision Lightboost support for PC.
Nvidia should partner up with LG to produce such screens. LG seems to be the most viable company that could collaborate with NV on this.
