Model
Lg OLED83B4PU*
Rank #151 means 150 of the 172 television models we track cost less to run each year; the 21st efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 21% of those models.
What does the Lg OLED83B4PU* cost to run per year?
Not many television models we track cost more to run than the Lg OLED83B4PU*: about $58 a year, rank #151 of 172. Adjusted for size, it is only more efficient than 21% of television models we track, so part of its running cost comes from its capacity rather than efficiency alone. At 170.3 W in on-mode, its power draw is a direct input into that running-cost figure.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Samsung QN83S85FAE at $58/yr runs a little cheaper and the Samsung QN77S95FAF at $58/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 Lg OLED83B4PU*'s $58/yr adds up to roughly $406 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
By the numbers
The Lg OLED83B4PU* 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 $58/yr, here is what the Lg OLED83B4PU* adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Lg OLED83B4PU* costs about $580. That is roughly $230 more than the class median, which would run closer to $350 over the same ten years.
How the Lg OLED83B4PU* compares
The television class we track runs from $3 to $117 a year. At $58/yr, it runs about $23 a year above the class median of $35, and it is about $55 a year more than the cheapest television to run at $3.
What drives its running cost
At 82.5 in, the Lg OLED83B4PU* is a large television for its class, which spans 13.23 to 114.4 in with a median of 55 in, size is usually the single biggest lever behind a running-cost figure, and at this end of the range there is more capacity to service, which tends to push the number up. At 170.3 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 Lg OLED83B4PU* cheap to run?
Not especially. At $58 a year it ranks #151 of 172 television models we track, in the pricier part of its class to run, though its size and features may still justify that for your needs.
How much does the Lg OLED83B4PU* cost per month?
Roughly $4.86/mo, spreading the $58/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 314 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $58 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Lg OLED83B4PU* for its size?
21st percentile once size is factored in. That means its size-adjusted efficiency is not the main reason for the running-cost figure above; its capacity plays a large role too.
