Is the amount of electric very noticable in your monthly bill or is it marginal? thanks

Actually LCD TVs and other thin screen TVs (Including Plasma's) are actually supposed to use a reduced amount of power as compared to a normal TV. It's difficult to make a suitable comparison, but say I was comparing your 42" Plasma to a 42" rear Projection TV - yours would win hands down on power saving!

My 37" plasma TV draws 250 watts.
My old 32" CRT TV drew 200 watts.
A 37" LCD TV will draw 150 watts.
A standard household light-bulb draws 60 watts.
An average kettle draws 1,000 watts.
An upright vacuum cleaner draws 1,400 watts.
An electric fire draws 3,000 watts.
Or, to put it another way, you really aren't going to notice a difference. It's all a matter of perspective...

Yes they eat it!
LCD Tvs Can Be More Energy Efficient And Reduce Peak Usage For TV Power Consumption
For families considering buying a new TV for Christmas, energy usage will vary significantly depending on what type of TV is purchased. Of particular concern is the energy usage the new TV will require even if the TV is not on but in standby mode. Changing from a smaller CRT TV (say 35 inch TV) to a larger plasma TV (50 inch) will use more—2 to 3 times more—energy during the peaks even if the TV is not on. If TVs are on during the peak period, which is especially likely during the winter evening peaks that typically occur from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., energy usage for TV viewing could easily double. This is due not only to larger power consumption per square inch for plasma TVs but also the fact that most people buy a plasma screen TV for the larger viewing screen. Selecting an energy-efficient LCD TV could result in peak energy reductions.

Marginal.

Nope uses the same amount of electricity. Depending on brands.

I haven't noticed a difference, but they sure do warm the room up! It's like having a heater.
