LCDs use slightly less. I think that advantage was generally overstated as people were comparing larger plasmas to smaller lcd's.
From this chart, the 50PHD8UK plasma is only about 10% higher than the much smaller 40 inch sony lcd.

When comparing to convential tube tvs, s 34 inch convential tv uses about 25% less power of a 50 inch plasma. But the the plasma is lighting a screen that is more than size the size.
