led-backlight

I am in the market for a new monitor. I've been looking around and it seems that the general brightness for monitors is between 250-320 cd/m2.

After hours of searching, I narrowed it down to the LG W2453V-PF vs. the LG E2350V-SN

The W2453V-PF is not LED backlit yet it has a brightness level of 310 cd/m2 and a response time of 2ms. The E2350V-SN, on the other hand, has a brightness level of 250 cd/m2 and a response time of 5ms but it is LED backlit.

My questions are, looking at these overall specs:

Which monitor is better? What makes LED backlight better? Is the LED backlight worth the decreased brightness level?

Thanks!

p.s. if you have any other comparable monitor suggestions (that are not samsung - I read their customer service is absolutely terrible), feel free to share. thanks!

What's the latest Macbook Pro model number *without* LED backlight

as seen on Super User - Search for 'Super User'
I just got a new Macbook Pro, and got a headache/eyestrain using it. Doing some research, maybe it's related to the MBP's LCD being LED backlight. Does anyone know the latest MBP model number (e.g. MC118LL/A) that does not have LED backlight? I probably will just buy it used (hopefully new) from… >>> More
Seeking glass lcd montiors with LED backlight

The only LCD monitors with glass fronts and LED back-lighting I can find are the ones by Apple. And they only sell a 24" one at 2.4x the price of any other 24" monitor at 1920x1200, and a 30" one, which honestly I can't put on my desk. Oh, and the 24" one uses a mini-display port plug only. So I'd… >>> More

I'd love to get this LCD monitor, but I'm wondering if I should hold out until more LED monitors are on the market. I really like the brightness of the 27" iMac monitor and the above monitor is only rated at 5 cd/m2 less than that monitor, but wouldn't a back lit LED monitor appear to be much brighter… >>> More
