LED monitors are a form of LCD monitors that use the same technology but with a different kind of backlight to produce the displayed image. There are many factors to consider when comparing the two. And of course, there are always those who prefer one or another, but we will stick to the facts.
We will start with the black levels and the contrast as one of the more important factors for producing high quality images and then compare color, weight, power consumption, size and cost. I believe that looking at all of these factors should be enough to create the whole picture in the LED vs. LCD monitor comparison.One of the biggest problems with displaying the proper black color on LCD monitors is that backlight is always turned on during usage which usually results in a low contrast and a pretty poor display of the dark areas and black colors on the display screen. In order to display black color properly, LCD panel needs to block backlight and make it totally black which in most cases is not possible.
In terms of producing good quality colors, both LED monitors and standard LCD monitors are pretty much the same. Color reproduction of LCD displays depends directly on the quality of the particular panel, while LED displays do not have any specific advantage over them. However, if you are using tri color LED monitors, they have the ability to change backlighting colors when needed according to the scene. Only those displays are capable of producing more accurate colors.
Power consumption on LED displays can be as much as 30-40% less than that of LCD’s and thus they are more green- friendly for the environment.
Size is the biggest thing that you will notice. LED monitors are much thinner than LCD units. LEDs also weigh less if you wishing to mount them on a wall or hang from a ceiling in an office waiting room or other areas.
Pricing at the moment is less expensive for the LCD units, but that is not due to the cost of the technology, but the fact that LCD’s are being mass produced compared with LEDs.
Northern Computer recommends LED units when your budget permits, as over time with less energy, your return on investment will be faster.
