Nowhere on the Energy Star site can I find out if 75" wide and larger Professional Display Monitors (such as Samsung or NEC for conference rooms) are eligible or not for an Energy Star rating.
I have the model numbers, but since they are not listed I don't know if they are able to be.
Any guidance on next step, so I can document the EA 1.4 credit?
Thank you.

Hi Harry,
The way to find out what is included or excluded for eligibility is to download the Partner Program requirements info. This info has been moved. Now you have to go to Partner Resources navigation at the very top of the screen and then pick Product Specifications, and you will see all the Program requirement documents that are currently in effect by product category.
When you download one of these for any category, you should quickly scroll through the document past the Item 1 Definitions to Item 2 Scope. There it will tell you what is included and what is excluded in the program based on the preceding definitions.
Previous to May of this year, all monitors over 61 inches were not eligible. As of the current version 7.0 Display Program info, there are no exclusions for size. There are only 3 current exclusions - integrated television tuner, integrated batteries or FDA medical devices.
Per LEED requirements, you will be subject to the Program Requirement document that was in effect when the equipment was purchased. If your equipment was purchased before May of 2016, you could still exclude it with a proof of sale receipt.

Michelle,
Wow!
I can't thank you enough for your complete and detailed response. I found exactly what you stated, and ends my search down multiple rabbit holes! Thank you.
