LG OLED55C5
The LG OLED55C5's certified consumption is 228 kWh per year, which prices out to about $43 at the national average rate — your hours of use scale that directly. Efficiency-wise it's unremarkable in a good way: within 22% of the median certified television (rank 111 of 172). The same unit costs $28 a year in North Dakota but $106 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference. Note the certified pool here is small (172 models), so rankings shift more with each data refresh.
