Flat Panel TV Power Consumption?

There's been a few new developments in flat panel technology lately with a lot of green (power consumption) focus. Anyone done any research as to the optimal technology and brand for a low power unit for a yacht?

LED, Plasma, Organic light emitting diode (OLED) · Surface-conduction electron-emitter (SED) · Field emission (FED) · Laser TV · Ferro Liquid (FLD) · Interferometric modulator display (IMOD) · Thick-film dielectric electroluminescent (TDEL) · Nanocrystal · Quantum dot LED (QDLED) · Micro device (MDDP) · Time Multiplexed Optical Shutter (TMOS) · Transparent electroluminescent · Carbon nanotube (CNT) · Telescopic pixel (TPD) · Liquid crystal lasers (LCL) · High dynamic range (HDR)

See the “Energy Star”, or IEC 2087 ratings for the specific model of candidate TV set you're considering.

In general:
Rear Projector ≈ 0.13 watt per square inch
LCD ≈ 0.27 watt per square inch
Plasma ≈ 0.34 watt per square inch

Unless you habitually unplug your TV, when not in use, you should also look at the IDLE (standby) power usage.
