I'd love to get http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824005115

but I'm wondering if I should hold out until more LED monitors are on the market.

I love 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 monitor appear to be much brighter than an LCD monitor? Does anyone know how the above monitor compares to the 27" imac monitor? Why are Apple monitors in general so much more expensive than other monitors - just the brand name? I must be confused about how to read the specs?

Thanks in advance for your input!

How to find out if the screen is WLED or RGBLED on Dell Studio XPS 16?

I just ordered the Dell Studio XPS 16 with i7 and 16" RGBLED screen. This upgrade from WLED LCD to RGBLED LCD charged me more $$. But now when I view the order online, it lists this part as "320-8335 Premium FHD WLED Display, Obsidian Black, 2.0 MP Webcam". When called Dell, the rep says this part… >>> More

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 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.
