NEC plasmas get a bit of eco-religion
New line is supposed to cut power consumption

Just what the world needs: More plasma TVs. Not that we mind having screens, of course (especially if it means lower prices for us).
So we wholeheartedly endorse NEC's move to update its high-end XR line of displays, which range from 42 to 60 inches. Interestingly enough, the changes don't involve the usual visual upgrades for the already-full-featured models: Shiny Shiny says the major difference is less power consumption, which NEC claims will be lowered by 22 percent. Pricing isn't yet known, though you can bet they won't be cheap. But if you hang onto one of them long enough, you'll at least save some money on your electricity bills.
