Why Should You Choose An LED Monitor?

By Elton James

More than likely you are reading this article on an LCD or plasma monitor. These monitors are much less bulky than the older monitors that took up half of a normal sized desk. Most of these monitors have a much clearer picture than the older monitors did. If you want to take the next step, then you will want to switch to LED monitors.

The difference between an LCD monitor and an LED monitor is with the source of the back light. The older LCD monitors are back lit with florescent tubes. These tubes only have a lifetime of three to four years before they begin to dim. Although it may seem that the smart thing to do to correct this problem would have been to allow the consumer to change the florescent tubes and keep the same monitor, but this option has not been offered by manufacturers. Instead, users are left with no alternative other than to replace their monitors. Thus, monitors become a large source of electronic waste.

Another disadvantage of an LCD monitor is that it is bulkier and heavier than an LED monitor. The florescent tubes are the reason for the additional thickness. These monitors cannot be made as thin as the LED monitors, which may be less than half an inch in thickness. The LED displays are ideal for laptop computers.

Since fluorescent lamps do not produce a full color spectrum, the picture produced by the LCD monitor is not as sharp as that of the LED monitors. LEDs produce a high quality of white light that makes the colors even more realistic in the LED monitors.

LED monitors now require much less energy than any other monitor on the market. In addition they are some of the brightest monitors available on the market. They also have a longer life span before they begin to lose their brightness.

Some users do complain that the edge lit LED monitors do not have an evenly lit screen. They find it brighter along the edges and darker in the center. This is due to the fact that the LED lights are only along the edges, making the super thin screen possible. This may simply be a matter of adjusting to the use of the screen.

Another complaint the some people have with LED monitors is that they are too bright for some applications. A suggestion might be to find a LED monitor that allows the user to adjust the brightness. Users who make this complaint find that the bright monitor causes eyestrain.

These two minor complaints should not be enough to keep you from purchasing one of the best monitors that are available today. These are the absolute thinnest monitors available. They are extremely clear and last much longer than the LCD monitors with florescent tubes.

Choosing a monitor with long life is a great choice for the environment. Whilst many people have simply given in to purchasing a new monitor every time they buy a new home or office computer, monitors should not have to be updated as often as the CPU. Choosing an LED monitor gives you the best chance of having a quality monitor that will last as long or longer than your current computer.
