Does a 55" Plasma TV give off that much heat???

The (almost) instant-on feature of TVs means a plasma TV uses a fair amount of power even when shut off.

Yes they put off a lot of heat. However, I don't understand how it could be a big problem. Don't you turn the TV off when you're not watching a program? We have a Panny plasma and it is not a problem. The one or two hours a day it is on are not enough to cause problems.

There's an energy saver setting on our Panny plasma that disables that feature.
Yeah, I don't remember my Panny plasma ever being instant-on.
