PHILIPS 243V7Q
The PHILIPS 243V7Q's certified consumption is 44 kWh per year, which prices out to about $8.10 at the national average rate — your hours of use scale that directly. Efficiency-wise it's unremarkable in a good way: within 2% of the median certified computer monitor (rank 733 of 1530). The same unit costs $5.79 a year in Nevada but $23 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
