LG OLED55G5
The LG OLED55G5's certified consumption is 217 kWh per year, which prices out to about $40 at the national average rate — your hours of use scale that directly. Efficiency-wise it's unremarkable in a good way: within 16% of the median certified television (rank 113 of 180). The same unit costs $28 a year in Nevada but $114 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.
