Sansui LE-24T1

At the standardized usage ENERGY STAR assumes, the Sansui LE-24T1 consumes 45 kWh a year — about $8.51 at the U.S. average electricity rate ($0.71 a month). Only a handful of certified televisions do better: it ranks 8 of 172 and undercuts the median by 76%. The same unit costs $5.58 a year in North Dakota but $21 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.
