AndrewJ: There is a lot of hype behind LCDs. I will warn you though, that they are NOT as efficient as you would be led to believe. I personally have noticed a trend that LCDs use about 25% less than tube-based t.v.s. That really isn't a make or break in my book. The pollutants released during the manufacturing of the LCD far outweigh any savings you would get in electricity. I say stick with your unit that you currently own, and trade up when it dies.
Has anyone checked their refrigerators? I hooked up the kill-o-watt to mine and ended up with about a 17kwh draw per week. This was back in the summer though, so it may have dropped since then. I think I will actually go test it right now!
