Cut Your Power Bill
	Summer is here with a vengeance in New England! And now with the air conditioning blasting on high, I'm thinking of ways to cut my energy bill. According to a recent study by an Australian consumer agency, video game consoles and plasma flat screen televisions are major energy hogs, even when left on stand-by. The Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and plasma television sets consumed the most power of 16 electronic devices tested. The Playstation 3, while not in use, costs five times as much as running ...

Panasonic plasma TV streams YouTube, accesses Picasa photos
	YouTube and Picasa services are available right from the TV in Panasonic's flagship TH-PZ850U.(Credit: Masa Fukata, Panasonic) We detailed Panasonic's full plasma lineup earlier this year, but having just returned from a press event devoted to the flagship TH-PZ850U series, it feels incumbent to reiterate some of the cool new features of these expensive sets. The coolest? A demo at the event proved that the 850Us can stream YouTube videos, right on the TV screen with no PC required. The TV's "Viera Cast" interface allows you to search YouTube by keyword, sort videos by popularity, or access your own list of favorite videos, for example. During the demo we were treated to a video of a laughing baby, the (no-surprise) current champ of the popularity list. According to Panasonic, the entire catalog of YouTube videos is available on the TV, although it may take a day or two for a new one on the site to appear on Viera Cast. The TV can also access Picasa, Google's photo sharing site, so you can view digital photos stored at your (or someone else's) Picasa account directly on the big screen. ...

Down the line: 2008 Panasonic plasma HDTVs
	Panasonic's flagship 850U series adds IPTV capability.(Credit: Panasonic) Panasonic's plasma HDTV lineup for 2008 includes five total series, each with multiple screen sizes but identical features within the series. The company first announced its 2008 plasma plans at CES, but today it fleshed out a few more details. In case you're wondering, we have requested review samples of these panels from Panasonic and will review them as soon as they're made available to us. The company's rep said he could ship a PX80U model within the next two weeks, with the others to follow. In lieu of reviews, here's a rundown of the company's 2008 plasma lineup so far. Most models below are available now, although the 800U and 850U series should be out in April and late May, respectively. Larger 58- and 65-inch models in those two series (the other series max out at 50 inches) will ship in the July/August timeframe. The company also announced LCDs and hinted at OCAP-enabled sets to follow later in the year. ...

Some salespeople still think flat-panel LCDs beat plasmas?
	In a time when CNET's two top-rated HDTVs of the year are Panasonic's TH-50PZ800U and Pioneer's PDP-5020FD, we have to wonder why a salesperson would recommend flat-panel LCD HDTVs at the rate that J.D. Power and Associates claims in a recent report. Pioneer's Kuro PDP-5020FD, one of our top plasma HDTVs(Credit: CNET Networks) The report, which surveyed more than 2,000 shoppers on their experience in big-box electronic retailers, a specialty television retailer, a mass merchant, and a warehouse store, found that retail salespeople recommended LCDs over plasmas at a three-to-one rate. Sure, plasmas have a long list of supposed failings: they're allegedly bulky and power hungry, and have image burn-in issues and leaks, and a short lifespan. However, most of these problems--image burn-in being the most common with early plasma sets--have been resolved on modern plasma displays. According to the report, however, "37 percent of salespersons warned their customers that images may be permanently burned onto the screen of plasma TVs." The lifespan argument doesn't hold up either, as both LCD and plasma lifespan claims are basically the same now at 60,000 hours each. And, with LCDs still costing more at equivalent screen sizes, it's certainly convenient for retailers to promote the LCD technology over its less expensive rival....
