I love my monitor the screen is bright enough yet pleasant to the eyes. You do not feel any eye strain. This is possibley due to the LED lites

Traditional big box monitors were lit using a Cathode Ray Tube (CRT), which was generally very hot due to the extremely high voltage required to power them. The next generation of monitors (What people typically refer to as "Flat-Screen," but actually the difference was in the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) vs. the glass projection screen from the CRTs) were much slimmer and took a lot less power to operate; these were lit by Compact Fluorescent (CFL) bulbs, typically found at the bottom but sometimes both bottom and top. To finally answer your question, "LED lit" monitors use Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) to light up the image you see on the LCD screen. So what you need to understand from an advertising perspective is, if the monitor is being sold as "LCD" then it is likely "lit" by CFL. If the monitor is being advertised as "LED lit," then it is still an LCD but uses LEDs to light up the display. The benefit of "LED lit" is drastically reduced power consumption, as well as brighter back lighting and typically less bleed over on the edges so the blacks look darker.

Some older monitors have incandescent backlighting and they get hot and use a lot of power. Just like on a lot of newer flat screen TVs, these monitors use LED back lighting which uses very little electricity and they barely get warm.

I can only can give my opinion but, in any past experience I have had regarding LED displays like this is not good. Generally, you would have to replace The whole display module.... But I might be wrong. :0/

Better explained maybe... It's an LCD screen that uses an LED for the backlight to see the LCD screen. I purchased a few of these now for the workstations at our offices. No complaints so far.

My monitor is HD ready and it was working fine, I think it should work with the LED, otherwise what is the use of the HDMI connection.

The Edge LED means that the TV is Edge lit. Google TV menas that you may do google searches ont he TV itself.

The monitor reads "LED Technology" on it; top left corner. It's a solid monitor for sure.

i have the 46". Sales info says its LED but the manual says it's an LCD. i think it's a generic manual.The box says it's an LED and 240 refresh rate. We've had it 2 months now and we love it.

There is no difference! Both screens are LCD. LED is what back lights the LCD display. LED (Light Emitting Diode) They just call all LCD displays LED.

not sure what you mean. This is just a power supply. connect AC to the AC input and use the DC outputs to power your LEDs.

It is an LED backlit monitor. Any monitor that says its LED is LED backlit. The color and the screen are always LCD

A bright room or light shining on to the screen really does show up. But, if you can mange the ambient light, it is a much better picture than the current LEDs available.

From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LED-backlit_LCD_display):A LED-backlit LCD display is a flat panel display which uses LED backlighting instead of the cold cathode fluorescent (CCFL) backlighting used by most other LCDs.

LCD means Liquid Crystal Diode, LED means Light Emitting Diode. Not sure why the TV says LED-LCD because this TV is actually a LCD TV. Both technologies are current-state technologies in the TV market.

The screen is LCD matrix just like any other monitor or TV. Back light is LED. LED is more reliable than CFL tube(s) used in older designs.

I'm no expert but I do know LED stands for "light emitting diode" and LCD means " liquid crystal display" It is two different technologies to produce the picture of the TV.

All so called LED displays are LCD with LED backlight. There is no such thing as an LED display. It is just a selling Buzz Word.

Every LED Monitor is an LCD screen. It just uses LED backlighting.. So yes this is an LED monitor. I love this monitor. You will too if you don't plan on making and stand adjustments!! Hope you enjoy!
