Believe it or not...65VT30 (500W) consumes just as much as my 50PY800( 520W ), if not lesser!
It's definitely less ESi...only about 17.5kWh per month at 5 hours a day...that's less than 200 pesos a month for a 65 inch plasma....less than 500 pesos a month if babad ng 12 hours a day. bili-bili na? hehe
hindi kaya mag-abot ang total running cost ng plasma and (projector+lamp+peripherals) in less than 5 years?
Just now I checked.. in kWH per year, your 50PY800's sibiling 50PZ800 consumed over 2x that of the 65TV30. (432 kWh vs 210 kWh).
