Budget??
Size??
LED is just an LCD monitor with LED backlight.

Check the hardware spec/price list thread in vga bazar section. Led just consumer less power in comparison to lcd.

 

[rajan1311]

how big is the price gap?

 

[Gollum]

Its not too much. Most of the good ones are less than 10k starting from 6k

I believe 22inch HD Led monitors start from 9.5k.

Yeah and keep in mind that LED monitors are actually LCD as said before. It's not like OLED or AMOLED mobile screens where the whole screen is AMOLED but not LCD, but here it's actually a LCD where only the back lighting is LED.
I never figured out how they sale by stating LED monitors/TV's instead of LED Back lighting monitors/TV's.

I wanted to buy a 22" LED monitor n i am almost finalizing a Dell or Benq model (i have yet confirm the model) but i am shocked by reading this!
According to you they r not LED monitors?
If so when can we expect a full LED monitor in INDIA?
Thx

Nobody knows I guess, and if it even releases the Price will be sky high, gotta be.

 

[Ishu Gupta]

I just know that Samsung has shown some LED monitors at some show. Transparent and very cool looking.

They are not even out in US/UK AFAIK.

[Ishu Gupta]

Benq G2220HD @ 7500 <--- Better performance
Samsung B2230 @ 8200 <-----Better Looks

Sony Kills Next-Gen 11" Display; Manufacturers Hedge on OLED TVs - HotHardware

11'' Sony OLED for 2000US$. Now the price tells the story. It is not possible to produce a 36/42'' OLED TV in a budget around 50-60k, not yet, in future? Might be.

What about IPS display panal?

 

[Ishu Gupta]

Aren't they quite expensive too??

 

[paroh]

Go with Dell u2311H LCD with IPS

 

[ithehappy]

Yeah go with Dell IPS monitors, they are good. IPS technology is the best overall in LCD. So don't fall into LED Backlighting gimmick.
