Acer PE320QXT
The Acer PE320QXT's certified consumption is 139 kWh per year, which prices out to about $25 at the national average rate — your hours of use scale that directly. It sits near the bottom of the certified table — using 209% more than the median computer monitor (rank 1507 of 1530) — so the state you live in matters more than usual. The same unit costs $18 a year in Nevada but $73 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
