Sansui LE-24VA1
At the standardized usage ENERGY STAR assumes, the Sansui LE-24VA1 consumes 46 kWh a year — about $8.36 at the U.S. average electricity rate ($0.70 a month). Only a handful of certified televisions do better: it ranks 10 of 180 and undercuts the median by 76%. The same unit costs $5.98 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.
