computer monitors
I want to upgrade my pc monitor to a 20" screen. I also want to pay no more than $100.00. I would prefer LED to LCD. Which brand/model should I buy?

Re: computer monitors
Can't help with that decision, but I would like to know why you specify LED over LCD? What are the pluses and minuses of each? Obviously, I know nothing, but my monitor is starting to act funny and I may have to make the same decisions soon.
Thanks!

Re: computer monitors
I don't know much about either of them as well, but I did read that LED monitors last longer, have brighter whites, and give greater contrast between white and black.

Re: computer monitors
Keep in mind, an LED screen is still an LCD screen, just backlit by LEDs instead of fluorescent lights.

Re: computer monitors
So, not worth paying extra $$ for the LED? I'm determined to keep it at or around $100.00.

Re: computer monitors
As I understand it, an LED large screen TV is cheaper to operate and runs a cooler. Not sure it's worth paying extra $$ for an LED monitor for computer use though. I could be wrong, but that is what I've heard.

Re: computer monitors
I think at your price point, you'll probably get a higher resolution screen without the LED backlighting. LED backlit screens do have all the benefits you mentioned, but you pay for 'em.Mojo workin' wrote:So, not worth paying extra $$ for the LED? I'm determined to keep it at or around $100.00.
