LG 34BA85QE
The LG 34BA85QE's certified consumption is 91 kWh per year, which prices out to about $17 at the national average rate — your hours of use scale that directly. It sits near the bottom of the certified table — using 102% more than the median computer monitor (rank 1376 of 1530) — so the state you live in matters more than usual. The same unit costs $12 a year in Nevada but $48 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
