Plasma Tv Heats Up Room

Now if you compare a 32 inch lcd tv that uses 50 watts when powered on to that of a 100 watt light bulb you d need two tvs to equal the bulb s output.

Plasma tv heats up room.

Plasma tvs are more vulnerable to burn in of static images. Plasma tvs generate more heat and use more energy than lcd tvs due to the need to light phosphors to create images. However i suspect most of the sets won t last that long anyway with faults scrapping the sets before screen aging makes them unuseable. Yeah i dont own a single plasma but my 55in toshiba lcd gets pretty hot.

It warms the dust in the air and walls of the room. I have a 42 panasonic viera plasma tv. So you need to increase the ventilation through the room. Remember in order for the hot air to leave the room an equal amount of cooler air must enter the room.

Depends which model you re going for. This is actually a common problem in equipment and computer rooms. Plasma tvs ranging from 42 65 inches use 90w 214w when powered on. Still a bit less heat than on a pana plasma though.

Having a ceiling fan isn t going to do a whole lot. The plasmas where i work at do generate a fair amount of heat but nothing out of the ordinary. Essentially all of that power its drawing is going to eventually turn into heat in your room. As it turns out my tv uses less than 20w a figure i found pretty quickly by looking up my model on the manufacturer s.

So its basically a psuedo space heater. In the winter i don t even need to put the heat on because my tv makes my bedroom warm enough on it s own. Plasma tvs do not perform as well at higher altitudes. Actually all light energy from the plasma or any light bulb turns to heat.

That s a big tv and i m sure its drawing at least a few hundred watts of power. However this problem diminished over the years due to pixel orbiting and related technologies. You need to put the heat somewhere else if you don t want it in your room. The problem is that the heat is not leaving the room.

The thing emits a lot of heat when it s on.
