About a year or so ago my coworker gave me a beautiful 55" Plasma TV (Panasonic). He just didn't have the heart to toss it because the picture was just "so nice". So, over the last week I've been trying to figure out why by basement is "so hot". I have a newer Dehumidifier and was worried it wasn't working. Yet, when I checked the humidity it's "under" 40. The temperature in the basement his 78+ degrees!!! OUCH. So, last night I shut off the dehumidifier (Thinking the fan might be heating the room off the unit) and made sure my son shut the TV off before bed and this morning the basement was around 74 degrees (felt better). So, I'm thinking of dumping the Plasma and moving my Samsung LED down there (55") and getting a new LED with Roku for the main living space. Thinking the Samsung would be a better option down there. Are these plasma TV's kind of like space heaters?
