Sansui LE-65V1

The Sansui LE-65V1's certified consumption is 235 kWh per year, which prices out to about $43 at the national average rate — your hours of use scale that directly. Efficiency-wise it's unremarkable in a good way: within 26% of the median certified television (rank 125 of 180). The same unit costs $31 a year in Nevada but $124 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.
