I would argue that last with you.  Even the most efficient flat panels exhaust a lot of
heat.  It feels warm at the top but that's because the heat is spread out over a large
area.  A flat panel is going to emit at least as much waste heat as a 100watt light bulb.
That adds up.

Brother and sister in law are staying here while their house is being remodeled.  They
have four dogs.  The have an aquarium screen saver built into their Roku box.  They leave
it on when they leave the house.  They never turn out lights until bedtime.  I've shivered
wearing a sweater because the keep the AC temp set so low.

I find the sheer waste of it offensive.
