Sansui LE-24VA1

At the standardized usage ENERGY STAR assumes, the Sansui LE-24VA1 consumes 46 kWh a year — about $8.58 at the U.S. average electricity rate ($0.72 a month). Only a handful of certified televisions do better: it ranks 9 of 172 and undercuts the median by 76%. The same unit costs $5.63 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.
