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
In 2006 I replaced this 21" Trinitrton (~19.8" actual) with a 24" MVA panel from BenQ:

Power consumption dropped from 145w to 95w. I still have that screen floating around, but it looks like garbage these days, despite being the holy grail of screens around the turn of the century.

Last year I replaced my ~11 year old BenQ MVA LCD with a 27" IPS panel in a Dell Ultrasharp 27" and reduced power consumption down to ~35w, presumably because of a switch from CCFL to LED backlighting.
