33 55 in TVs, Ranked by Running Cost
Televisions, 55 in class (53.0-59.9 in measured diagonal), sold in the US. Screen size is the certified measured diagonal, rounded to the nearest size TVs are sold by. Ranked cheapest to run first, estimated at 18.31¢/kWh (July 2026).
This depends heavily on hours of use. ENERGY STAR's annual figure is based on a fixed test assumption, not your actual viewing hours — a TV on 2 hours a day will cost much less than shown, one on 8 hours a day much more. Use it to compare models at the same size, not as your real bill.
33 ENERGY STAR certified models, from about $22 to $45 a year to run at the US average electricity rate. See how we calculate running costs.
