I bought the NONIN Go2 Achieve Fingertip Blue, based on my therepists advise for keeping track at home. It is fast and I have checked it against the Dr.'s office machines. It is acurate and the price was very reasonable. Others that I found at a lesser price did not have a brand name and NONIN is the brand that was suggested to me.

I didn't know there was a led type. LCD uses less power. (Battery life). Great reasonable device.

I don't think you have a choice with the Nonin Go2 and my primary concern is accuracy. I have checked the Nonin Go2 against the ones used by various health providers and it is very accurate. Two of the less expensive ones I tried are worse than useless as give misleading info.

I didn't know there was a choice with the Nonin Go2. I am more interested in accuracy. The Nonin Go2 is reliable and compares with the health provider's equipment readings.

Now that my dept mgr has issued me an LED one I like it much better, seems to pick up faster, more accurate and can be visualized in the dark

I have no idea. My mom's doctor recommended this product, so I got it and find it easy to read and use. We need to track my mom's oxygen levels, and this had really helped. I know this does not answer your question, but it does at least let you know that this one really works: product number B002CAPUWY.

Ok thanks I think the figured out it now the Xl is the only version that's LED the rest are just plain LCD. Seems like it would be way easier and less confusing to change model numbers then just adding things on to the numbers

How do I know if I have an LCD or an LED and can I turn it into an LED if I want? I have opened the screen but nothing to determine it. A number LTN156AT01 is listed.

LCD is old technology. Suggest you look for LED HDTV. Very thin and light. Got a 24 inch LG led tv last black Friday, which also used as computer monitor.

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.

actually it is very nice...deep blacks and white whites....Samsung responded by giving the new LED based sets all 10,000:1 contrast ratio, LED DLPs are the way to go as its better technology all around with faster startup times, more natural colors, and excellent bulb life!

You need an adapter for LED or the original screen which is more expensive.

The term "LED" is a bit of a misnomer. All LED TV's are actually LCD TV's that use LED lights to backlight the screen. What are advertised as LCD TV's are LCD TV's that use flourescent lights to backlight the screen.

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

I think you're refering to LCD TVs.LED TVs solved the issue you are refering to. I have an LED TV and if you look at the screen from an angle even close to a 90 degree angle the brightness doesn't change much, and my TV is over 7 years old.LED TVs is basically more advanced LCD TVs.

I get extended performance as well, due primarily to the LED screen and solid-state hard drive, both of which require less from the battery than conventional LCD screens and regular hard drives. Power consumption will increase with peripherals (external hard drive), increasing the screen brightness, not using energy saving methods (like turning the screen down/off after a period of inactivity).

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.

LCD means Liquid Crystal DISPLAY. It refers to the actual material used in the screen of the television. Almost all HD TVs, computer monitors, etc. use LCD displays. LED, however, refers to Light Emitting Diode. This is the back-lighting of the display. As opposed to standard fluorescent light tubes, LEDs can provide brighter, more vibrant lighting with lower power usage and "true blacks," as in, those pixels turn off instead of displaying a low light as older displays do.So, short answer: Yes, it does have both. No, you can't just use either one, because they are complementary. Blame the marketers for confusing consumers about the difference between light tube LCD HDTVs and LED LCD HDTVs.

LCD TVs includes models use LED backlights to improve the picture. But there are models without the backlight feature and TVs with just LEDs in the flat screen. LCD and LED are different technologies; LCD stands for liquid crystal display and LED stands for light emitting diode and either or both can be used in making TV screens.

I would google ultraviolet vs led and read the answers. A good one was this one www.nsinails.com/.../led-vs-uv-by-rise'-c...Hope that helps!!Crystal

OLEDs are used in TV broadcast as a quality control monitor for good reason. Once you have spent time with one, everything else looks washed out. Until now they haven't been a serious option for consumers (e.g. Sony's 24" display $4k+) but that has changed recently. If you have to choose without actually spending time with both, I would recommend OLED. You won't be disappointed.

I have used led, but it doesn't last as long as uv....best to use uv I think
