ViewSonic VS20411
The ViewSonic VS20411's certified consumption is 44 kWh per year, which prices out to about $7.98 at the national average rate — your hours of use scale that directly. Efficiency-wise it's unremarkable in a good way: within 3% of the median certified computer monitor (rank 698 of 1530). The same unit costs $5.70 a year in Nevada but $23 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference. It also meets ENERGY STAR's stricter “Most Efficient” criteria.
