Just a few years ago, LCD (liquid crystal display) monitors began popping up, and they quickly overtook older CRT (cathode ray tube) monitors. CRT monitors grew exponentially backwards as screen size increased. Monitors larger than 20 inches were practically immovable.
LCD screens became popular in spite of their, at least at first, price premium over CRT monitors. Consumers were enamored with LCD monitors' thickness and clarity. There was none of the flickering that plagued CRTs, and monitors had finally taken a huge technological leap forward after many decades.
Another such technological advancement is underway right now. LED, or light emitting diode, monitors leapfrog past LCDs, but they are slightly more expensive. How exactly are they different?
LED Computer Monitors don't look entirely different from traditional LCD monitors. They are significantly thinner and lighter, but the front is the same old widescreen display.
Confusing ConsumersWhen they're marketed, most companies mislead consumers by not revealing that LED monitors are simply upgraded LCD monitors. Rather, the LED in the title simply refers to the monitor's back-light. While the back-light is very important, it's a far cry from replacing an LCD screen with an actual LED display, which is still several years away from hitting mass markets.
With an LED back-light, computer monitors are thinner and lighter, but they also provide better more uniform lighting. Older LCDs often have brighter and dimmer areas on the screen. LEDs, coupled with improved LCD technology, help provide superior whites and blacks.
Money SavingsLEDs also help save money in the long run. Light emitting diodes use less power than traditional back-lights, generally using 20-30% less electricity. Monitors don't use a ton of power to begin with, but LED monitors will save several dollars a year. These aren't huge savings, but it's something to keep in mind for environmentally conscious consumers.
With the long road to universal HD content drawing closer to its destination, most desktop computer monitors come in 1080p resolution right off the bat. Many laptop monitors are close, but they can afford smaller resolutions because of their smaller screens.
What's next after LED screens? One of the technology's possible successors is the OLED, or organic light emitting diode, display. These screens are years away from release, but they're reportedly as thin as a credit card.

What are some advantages of LED monitors?
LED monitors are more expensive but use less energy and don't run as hot. They are also clearer and offer a wider viewing angle. Be sure to check out Best Buy for side by side comparisons.
What technology used for computer monitor?
Few of the technologies used in Computer Monitors are CRT, LCD, LED, OLED & PLASMA.
Using LED Monitors to Save on Electricity Costs?
The older style of computer monitors used technology that seems like it comes out of the stone age when compared with the LED monitors out today. Not only does this mean that the lower end technology is less attractive, but it also means that these outdated monitors use up way too much electricity for what you get out of them. When you upgrade to using LED monitors, you're not only getting a significantly better picture, but you're also completely slashing your electricity bill in the process. Also, finding LED monitors for cheap is not difficult, especially if you buy them in bulk to use for large computer networks or security setups.
Which companies offer computer LCD monitors?
The popular brands when it comes to computer LCD monitors includes Asus and Acer. Both companies have established themselves as the as the front runners in monitor technology.

What sizes exists for led monitors?
Yes there are 24 inch Led monitors. LED monitors and TV's vary in size. LED monitors and TV's come in 17-19 inches, 20-23 inches, 24-32.28 inches, 37-50 inches, and 52-65 inches.
What is the power consumption of LED monitors?
The power consumption of LED monitors is generally lower compared to other types of monitors, typically ranging from 15 to 30 watts.
In LED monitors what does LED stands for?
LED means "light emitting diode." That is a semiconductor that produces light. LEDs are found on various parts of a computer. Some are used such as on the front panel to show that the computer is in use. Some are used for status lights, speed indicators, temperature gauges, and for decoration. Then of course there are LED-based computer monitors. They use an entire sheet of many tiny LEDs which are connected to driver circuitry and are used the same way as traditional CRT-based computer monitors. The overall result is the same - electrons excite a rare material and cause it to glow, but the method is different. CRT monitors used a high voltage electron beam to strike phosphors on the front of the CRT tube. LED and LCD monitors use lower voltage that is directly applied to the material, and the result is the same - it glows.
What is the acronym used to describe the technology used in newer flat screen computer monitors?
Being unclear what you might be referring to it could be: LCD, LED, LCD-LED, OLED, etc.
What does led mean in monitors?
LED stands for "Light Emitting Diode."
Identify two types of flat panel monitors and explain their differences?
Two examples of flat panel monitors are Light-emitting diode display (LED) and Liquid-crystal display (LCD). LCD monitors light the entire backside of the LCD panel using a cold compact florescent light while LED monitors use its own light to provide the backlight. LED lights more energy efficient than the cold compact florescent light used by LCD.
