UCSD Dad- repeating what Edison said at the press conference.
That's weird - I wonder why they'd say it since it isn't true? Most plasma TVs on standby (powered off but plugged in) use far less power than a night light.

Regardless, if it's suspected that power might be going off and on it's a good idea to unplug the expensive plasma or big LCD (and computers) to protect them against possible surges or at least have them plugged into a good surge protector.
