LED units can be thinner but that usually applies (don't get confused with the LEDs here) to LED displays. By that I mean Rather than LCD the screen uses LED's to make the image (in which case there is no back light at all since each pixel lights itself) Have a read of these articles. They discribe a bit about the different types of backlighting and how they effect the performance/price/size (thickness) etc. Very Simple breakdown of backlights - www.wikivs.com A bit more in depth - www.screentekinc.com A Very deep review on the technology - www.tomshardware.com IPS means In Panel Switching whilst TN is Twisted Nematic (also known as TFT) I'd go for an IPS panel personally, better image IMO. |

| 1312496 | 2012-11-15 09:05:00 | Thanks guys. I taken everything you replied on board, read the links above and done some comparisons on PriceSpy. I think the View Sonic VX2453mH-LED would be O. K. for me. ZCom Computers have it at $243.80 gst incld and free shipping. Seems like a good deal to me. The option was the Samsung S24B350H at $245 incl gst plus shipping fees Any comments ? Cheers, |

I'm a technical person (electronics) and Samsung are a class act with all their electronics products. A key advantage of LED backlighting over CCFL is that there is no high voltage supply needed (weak point in many monitors) and they run much cooler. The 2mS for the Samsung is very good indeed (Viewsonic is 5mS I think) and helps with the clarity, especially if watching video. In that general price range, it is hard to conceive of a better image quality than the Samsung and I do think it would render video with better definition than to Viewsonic due to the faster response time, but I have to admit that unless you have bionic eyes, I doubt you see the difference.

| 1312499 | 2012-11-15 19:37:00 | Hi Guys, I've gone with the Samsung mentioned above. ( S24B350H ) $266.11 incl GST and shipping. Reason ? Our TV is a Samsung and has excellent definition and looking at a friends Samsung monitor convinced me. Also it is ranked No. 1 on price Spy and is available from Alpha City who has excellent reviews. Incidentally, I'm currently using a Philips 107T, about 20 years old so expect a vast improvement. I thank you all in assisting with this. Good work team. Phil. |

| 1312500 | 2012-11-16 04:28:00 | Of the few LCD monitors I have used \ own I like AOC and Philips. I'm biased, and I admit it, but I'd take the Samsung over Viewsonic any day. I'm a technical person (electronics) and Samsung are a class act with all their electronics products. Class act(ion) for unreliability, certainly! www.dailytech.com ss+LCD+TV+Failures/article24065.htm |
