"you can pretty much ignore those data on the back of the TV—at least as a measure of energy efficiency. They don't refer to how much power the TV uses but rather to how much power it can take without overheating."

"Overheating?" Wrong, wrong, wrong. The wattage on the label is exactly WHAT POWER THE TV DRAWS.
