LED technology is "good enough". It's why so many people are buying them. If plasma were really significantly better with no downsides it would have stuck around. The fact is that it is a finicky technology with way too many issues to be the de facto standard that LED TVs have become. I would have bought a plasma myself but my living room is very bright. I agree that they are better but in my case it just wouldn't work. Also, I have lost count of how many times my son has left the Wii on "pause" for hours and hours. I can only imagine the burn in a plasma TV would have by now for me.
You basically have to be a homeless guy to care about the energy difference in plasma and LED. It's not even tip money.
I have a bright living room too, but that is what shades are for, and as working people most of our tv watching is done at night.
