Model
Xitrix XPN-DSA5550
Rank #62 means 61 of the 172 television models we track cost less to run each year; the 64th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 64% of those models.
What does the Xitrix XPN-DSA5550 cost to run per year?
At about $29 a year, the Xitrix XPN-DSA5550 undercuts most television models we track on running cost, rank #62 of 172. Size-adjusted, this model beats 64% of television models we track on efficiency, better than most of its class. Its on-mode draw of 83.92 W is the number ENERGY STAR measures directly and the one this running-cost figure is built from.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Lg OLED48C4PU* at $29/yr runs a little cheaper and the Samsung QN48S85HAE at $29/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 Xitrix XPN-DSA5550's $29/yr adds up to roughly $203 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
By the numbers
The Xitrix XPN-DSA5550 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 $29/yr, here is what the Xitrix XPN-DSA5550 adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Xitrix XPN-DSA5550 costs about $290. That is roughly $60 less than the class median, which would run closer to $350 over the same ten years.
How the Xitrix XPN-DSA5550 compares
The television class we track runs from $3 to $117 a year. At $29/yr, it runs about $6 a year cheaper than the class median of $35, and it is about $26 a year more than the cheapest television to run at $3.
What drives its running cost
At 54.64 in, the Xitrix XPN-DSA5550 is a mid-size television for its class, which spans 13.23 to 114.4 in with a median of 55 in, neither the size advantage of a small unit nor the size penalty of a large one applies here, so its running cost is a fairer test of efficiency alone. Its on-mode power draw of 83.92 W (the class spans 9.3 to 343.5 W) is the direct input into the running-cost figure, and the picture-brightness setting you choose is the single biggest lever you control over it day to day.
- 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 Xitrix XPN-DSA5550 cheap to run?
Yes. Its $29/yr running cost puts it at rank #62 of 172, below what most television models we track cost to run.
How much does the Xitrix XPN-DSA5550 cost per month?
About $2.4 a month, which is the $29 annual estimate spread across twelve months at the US average rate of $0.1856/kWh. Your own bill scales with your local electricity rate and how heavily you use it.
How is this running-cost figure calculated?
The formula is annual kWh times price per kWh: 155 kWh from ENERGY STAR times the US average of $0.1856/kWh comes to about $29 a year. It covers electricity only, not the purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Xitrix XPN-DSA5550 for its size?
64th percentile once size is factored in, a fairly typical result for the class.
