As much as we love plasmas' image quality here at CNET, there's no denying that they're power hogs . However, at CES 2009 we've seen several plasma manufacturers showing off new energy-efficient panels. Like Panasonic's NeoPDP plasmas, the Samsung PNB550 series of plasmas claim to consume nearly 50 percent less energy compared to past models. Here are the full details.Minimize

The Samsung PN50C590 50" Class Plasma HDTV brings a theater-quality picture into your very own living room! It supports true 1080p resolution and 600Hz Subfield Motion blur reduction, so you’ll never miss a detail no matter how intense the action gets.

With VIERA CAST technology, you can enjoy online content such as videos, photos, weather and stock information through an easy-to-use web interface that's built into the TV.

The PQ30 Series uses advanced panel technology such as 600Hz Sub Field Driving for superior performance in an HD resolution display. HD performance, a robust feature set and energy savings make this series a standout.
