power hog HDTV

Even if you obsess about turning off the lights and own a fuel efficient hybrid, you may be surprised to learn that your shiny new HDTV uses more electricity than your old one, thanks to the sizable increase in screen pixels.

Luckily, the folks at CNET created this handy chart that compares power consumption between 128 HD televisions.

They also have some excellent power-saving tips, such as turning down the LCD's backlight, controlling room lighting, and the most obvious - watching less TV.
