BenQ PD2705Q-T
The BenQ PD2705Q-T's certified consumption is 70 kWh per year, which prices out to about $13 at the national average rate — your hours of use scale that directly. It sits near the bottom of the certified table — using 56% more than the median computer monitor (rank 1194 of 1530) — so the state you live in matters more than usual. The same unit costs $9.23 a year in Nevada but $37 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
