LCD vs LED monitor discussion

[bbyluv]

---

To get things straight, LEDs are LCD technology. What we are really talking about here in this thread is backlight technology. Standard LCD displays use Florescent (CFL) backlighting while LEDs of course use Light Emitting Diodes. When you talk viewing angles and color fidelity, its more of the TFT (Thin Film Transistor) Panel Technology and NOT the backlighting that is in question. Meaning both regular LCDs (ones using CFLs) and ones with LED backlighting essentially have the same viewing angle when using the same TFT technology which is (in all likelihood) Twisted Nematic in this case.

To sum it up: poor viewing angles and color inaccuracy is a limitation of Twisted Nematic (TN) TFT-LCD technology rather than backlighting (CFL vs LED).
If you want better viewing angles and color fidelity (at the expense of cost, slightly less effective blacks and response times) go with Parallel Vertical Alignment (PVA) or In-Plane Shifting (IPS) TFT Panel technology.

very vivid thnx..

LED ko just bought Samsung EX2020... nindot ang color mas minus pod power consumption, low heat signature, i think durable pod ni sha kay iyang approx life span kay up to 100,000 hrs life, which is approx 14-15yrs, 18hrs per day of use.. pero on top sa tanan attractive pod kaayo sa mata

for gaming.. asa may nindot LCD or LED?

basically thesame as an istoryan pointed out...

LED:
Thin form factor
Light (preferable for wall mount set-up)
Slightly better technology

LCD:
Tried and tested technology
Go for major brands (China panels have high failure rates)
Bulky and slightly heavy

I suggest you go for a Brand name LED like samsung...
honestly, the price of an LCD (and assuming LEDs are too) plays a major role in the longetivity of its use. I had 2 22" Viewsonics fail (uneven backlights occur the other dead) and an AOC that had multiple busted Capacitors... mind you, i know how to inspect and replace faulty capacitors but those casualties were hopeless.

if your into gaming. look for a fast response monitor... 5ms is ok but 2ms is preferable...
also, trust your instincts and look up for reviews...
Investing on a monitor goes a long way

+1 para sa LED kay mas nindut ug contrast nya ecofriendly pa jud

Mga istoryans i need the help of anybody who is familiar with a panasonic toughbook cf-w2 kay broken na ang iya lcd then i asked 1 laptop repair shop ingon sila mahal daw kaayo mga 25 k daw i-order pa then not including taxes ug labor. wow! di nako kaya! i was hoping if pwede ba kha if palit na lang ko ug monitor then i-connect sa laptop. how? and what kind of monitor pwede ani? if somebody can advice me on this, i would really be thankful. barato lng unta nga klase nga monitor ako ikabit,how much kaha? tnx daan.

[acronis]

pwede kaayo na... tanawa lang sa imo laptop kung unsa iya mga ports... kung naa siya hdmi port... ngita ka monitor nga naay hdmi port... if vga port lng then monitor with vga port lang.

asay pinaka barato nga computer store diri cebu nag baligya ug LED.....

Hmmmm....

AFAIK there is still no such thing as a REAL LED monitor (except as billboards, example that intersection sa Archbishop Reyes and Escario before you enter Ayala), meaning the LED lights themselves provide the picture. What they call LED now (mostly because of Samsung's misleading advertising, LG and ViewSonic are more honest about LED) are actually LCD monitors with LED backlights instead of fluorescent.

I still choose my monitors based on the following: contrast ratio, refresh rate and response time, and well, general good looks, oh and price. If you're looking for gaming monitors, you should get the new 120hz (and above if there are models higher than that) 2ms (and below) models.

GAISANO INTERPACE I recommend you... i just bought a week ago an acer x163wl 15.8" LED monitor (3 pcs) at a price php4,100.00 each. i just upgraded my piso-piso pc. works greet, hulat nalang ko sa bill sa kurente kung pla ang akoa masave....

pangit ang AOC na LED ... mao na among gamit karon sa balay.... pirting silawa! ... makasakit sa mata...

masking unsaon namog adjust silaw jud kaayo,..waaaaaaa!! makadaot manig mata ning amawa ni... kay ang puti pirting hayaga,..... tanan combination na namo ang gi himo pero wa jud..in-ani na jud ning amawa ni...
