Eh, that’s quite an exaggeration, I think.I like plasma picture quality but man they can heat up a room If used for long periods of time.
That may be ok In winter but I don't wanna feel like I'm outdoors in AZ when I'm in my house during summer months.
Ive had my Pana ST50 plasma for over 8 years now, and never noticed it “heating up the room”.
Sure, if you go up to it and put your hand within 6”, you can feel warmth.
