350w for a 360 vs. like 2A draw @ 115w for a 26" Vizio LCD HDTV. Why
do I know these inane facts? I haul a dozen around as entertainment and
not only have an onboard AC (not A/C, thought we have one of those too)
panel system that runs off building power or our generator. And our gen's
got limitations, so the first thing we had to do was calculate total draw at
start-up and runtime to know when to put more gas in the sucker and if
it was all going to crap out or not.
But the difference between an LCD TV and a 360 is near frightening,
only because the LCD makes no sense to draw as little as it does while
the 360's a power-sucker on the level of a PC. How the LCD does it
stumps me!
