Perhaps not better in every sense, but better in enough ways that matter.
My 27” Trinitron uses about 35 watts,
My roommates 36” LCD uses about 40 watts

I’m not sure that “power” hungry is universally accurate,
Because a lot of folks buy an 80” lcd they are using more power than if they had a smaller classic CRT
