Thinking of getting a new tube to enhance your Super Bowl-watching pleasure?

If you do, remember that big isn’t always better, at least in terms of finding a green TV. Try to stay small — about 25 inches — and go with an LCD instead of a plasma.

So it’s safe to say that generally the smaller the TV the less energy it will use.
