1130079 2010-08-20 22:52:00 Is LED backlit monitor the way to go or just stick to the 'normal' backlit ones?

Also, what are the pros and cons of LED backlit panels?

1130081 2010-08-20 22:58:00 and i believe they last longer/are more reliable (the lighting part of it, anyway) jareemon (5207)
1130082 2010-08-20 23:06:00 Brightness, contrast and wider viewing angles are usually other reasons. LED is the way to go!

1130083 2010-08-21 00:58:00 Avoiding the high voltage inverters in ccfl backlights is a good idea. Yep, LEDs are the way to go. It won't be long before LED ones are the only ones available. linw (53)
1130084 2010-08-21 01:30:00 I would recommend LED over CCFL for sure, no inverters to worry about failure of (although they are probably more reliable than the CCFLs themselves)

But if you go and buy a crappy cheap monitor with useless capacitors in the PSU, it's still going to fail quickly no matter if it has LED backlights or not. (and while this is usually easily repaired, it's not something you probably want to have to deal with!)

1130085 2010-08-21 02:30:00 I put my LED laptop next to a non-led laptop of otherwise similar specs, on full brightness the LED was far brighter and more vivid. tis beautiful. jareemon (5207)
