LCD's use the same amount of power no matter what. Plasmas power consumption varies depending on the content. Content with dark scenes will use less power than scenes with lots of bright content. Plasmas also handle standard def content much better. Standard def content on LCD's does not look as good and I bet you parents watch mostly standard def content.
