What drives its running cost
At 23.48 in, the Sansui, Amzfast LE-24TA1 is a small television for its class, which spans 13.23 to 114.4 in with a median of 55 in, and smaller television models generally cost less to run for the same job, all else being equal. At 24.32 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. On-mode watts, the figure ENERGY STAR measures at the factory picture setting, can differ a lot from what a TV actually draws once you change the picture mode.
- Screen size. Screen size is the single strongest predictor of a TV's on-mode wattage, ahead of panel technology or brand.
- Hours of use. Running cost compounds with hours of use, so this figure is really a per-hour rate multiplied by a standard viewing assumption, not a fixed annual bill.
Common questions
Is the Sansui, Amzfast LE-24TA1 cheap to run?
Yes. Its $9/yr running cost puts it at rank #10 of 172, below what most television models we track cost to run.
How much does the Sansui, Amzfast LE-24TA1 cost per month?
