ViewSonic VS20411
The ViewSonic VS20411's certified consumption is 44 kWh per year, which prices out to about $8.19 at the national average rate — your hours of use scale that directly. Efficiency-wise it's unremarkable in a good way: within 4% of the median certified computer monitor (rank 668 of 1482). The same unit costs $5.37 a year in North Dakota but $20 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference. It also meets ENERGY STAR's stricter “Most Efficient” criteria.
