Real LED's or backlit?

[ithehappy]

Well I was waiting long for some companies to show up with real LED panel, not a LCD panel with LED backlit. Now I've been reading this in tech2 and thinking rightly that these are actually LED monitors, right? Not LCD?
Please confirm.

• Samsung launches next-gen LED monitor series in India

I doubt thats going to happen anytime soon. LED is not a panel technology, its a backlighting technique, similar to older LCD's using CCFL. The panel technology is LCD and can be categorised as TN, VA, IPS and Samsung's own PLS. Wikipedia has a nice article on LCD panel types. Check it out if you want...

You're wrong in some parts. LCD-LED technology is total gob IMO. I can't be an idiot to buy a LCD with LED backlit and shout I've purchased a LED TV/monitor.
Besides that has already happened, Samsung already ditched LCD TV, all LED from now on. But same gotta happen with Monitors to interest me.

Actually he was completely right - as far as the current scenario is concerned.

What you're talking about is OLED screens - having a matrix of small OLEDs. A long way to go here. But we have these in mobiles. For large screens, these will be power hogs.
