Model
Philips 75HFL6214U/27
Rank #84 means 83 of the 172 television models we track cost less to run each year; the 80th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 80% of those models.
What does the Philips 75HFL6214U/27 cost to run per year?
Ranking #84 of 172, the Philips 75HFL6214U/27 runs at roughly $35 a year, neither the cheapest nor the priciest in its class. Adjusted for its size, it is more efficient than 80% of television models we track, a strong result once size is taken into account. At 154.31 W in on-mode, its power draw is a direct input into that running-cost figure.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Samsung QN55S90FAF at $35/yr runs a little cheaper and the Xitrix XPN-DSA5850 at $35/yr runs a little more, a sense of how tightly models are packed at this point in the ranking. A television typically stays in service for somewhere around 7 years; over that span, the Philips 75HFL6214U/27's $35/yr adds up to roughly $245 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
By the numbers
The Philips 75HFL6214U/27 normalized against its whole class, so each figure means something.
What it costs you over time
Running cost is an every-year number, so it compounds. At $35/yr, here is what the Philips 75HFL6214U/27 adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Philips 75HFL6214U/27 costs about $350. That is roughly $0 less than the class median, which would run closer to $350 over the same ten years.
How the Philips 75HFL6214U/27 compares
The television class we track runs from $3 to $117 a year. At $35/yr, it sits right on the class median of $35, and it is about $32 a year more than the cheapest television to run at $3.
What drives its running cost
At 74.5 in, the Philips 75HFL6214U/27 is a large television for its class, which spans 13.23 to 114.4 in with a median of 55 in, and larger television models generally cost more to run than smaller ones in the same class, simply because there is more to keep cold, spin, heat, or light. At 154.31 W on-mode (the class spans 9.3 to 343.5 W), its power draw is what ENERGY STAR actually measured to produce this running-cost figure; brightness settings move that wattage more than screen size alone.
- On-mode brightness. The picture mode you leave a TV on, vivid or eco, moves its real-world wattage more than almost anything else you control directly.
- Screen size. A bigger panel needs more backlight or more emissive pixels to reach the same brightness, so energy use climbs with diagonal screen size across most panel technologies.
- Hours of use. ENERGY STAR's on-mode wattage figure assumes a standard number of hours per day; a TV left on longer than that, or used as ambient background noise, accumulates more of that hourly cost.
Common questions
Is the Philips 75HFL6214U/27 cheap to run?
It is about average. At $35 a year it ranks #84 of 172 television models we track, close to the middle of its class on running cost.
How much does the Philips 75HFL6214U/27 cost per month?
Roughly $2.88/mo, spreading the $35/yr estimate evenly across twelve months at $0.1856/kWh. Actual monthly bills swing with your rate and usage pattern.
How is this running-cost figure calculated?
We take the model's published annual energy use of 186 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $35 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Philips 75HFL6214U/27 for its size?
80th percentile once size is factored in, a fairly typical result for the class.
