Sansui LE-24T1

At the standardized usage ENERGY STAR assumes, the Sansui LE-24T1 consumes 45 kWh a year — about $8.29 at the U.S. average electricity rate ($0.69 a month). Only a handful of certified televisions do better: it ranks 9 of 180 and undercuts the median by 76%. The same unit costs $5.93 a year in Nevada but $24 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.
