How it works
1. The official ENERGY STAR record
Every scored figure comes from the ENERGY STAR certified televisions dataset, linked on the product card. If a figure is not published we show "Not listed" and score it at the category minimum, so an unpublished number never outranks a published one. Official annual energy use is shown on every card. When we derive a figure from official numbers, such as on-mode watts per 100 square inches, we label it computed.
2. Different panel types, the same official fields
OLED, QLED and LED LCD televisions are each ranked in their own table so official display type does not dominate the score. All three use official screen size, computed on-mode power density (labelled computed), computed resolution (labelled computed) and official measured standby-mode power. Finish, region or rebadge variants with identical official scored fields share one page.
3. Match it to the wall and the stand
A high official diagonal is not automatically the right set for a stand or wall mount. Confirm the official screen size against a mount or stand the maker approves, use a tip-restraint if one is supplied, and read the installation instructions. Peak brightness, refresh rate and the smart operating system are not in this certified dataset. Then check the price on Amazon. Commissions never change the order.
