Samsung QN77S85DAE
The Samsung QN77S85DAE's certified consumption is 283 kWh per year, which prices out to about $53 at the national average rate — your hours of use scale that directly.

The same unit costs $35 a year in North Dakota but $132 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.
