LG 86QNED85TU
At the standardized usage ENERGY STAR assumes, the LG 86QNED85TU consumes 306 kWh a year — about $56 at the U.S. average electricity rate ($4.68 a month). Even among certified models it's on the thirsty end: 64% more electricity than the median television, ranked 154 of 180. The same unit costs $40 a year in Nevada but $161 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference. Note the certified pool here is small (180 models), so rankings shift more with each data refresh.
