running 3 plasmas 24/7 is so far removed from normal household use why bother mentioning it?
Normal plasma use for newer modes runs about $40 per year at 8 hours per day.

that isn't quite accurate as the TC-P##ST50 is one of the highest rated plasmas this year. the ST,UT,VT, and GT denote models, not the TC.

You're entitled to your opinion. And so am I... and my opinion is that a 42" TV is by no means "small". It's probably the average-sized set these days.
