I thought LED Backlighting was going to be the new thing to look for (starting 2H of '07). But it just seemed to disappear. Anyone know why it's not being used (if ever)?
It's going to come on the market this year if it hasn't already. Apparently, Samsung is one of the manufacturers to release a model. Be prepared for a steep price tag, though. They're not going to be sold cheap by any indication.
Well, it doesn't say a whole lot, but I saw THIS little item on TFT Central about some ACER 19 and 22 inch LED's :

...LED BLU is seeing a little more success in LCD TVs because it enables a high dynamic contrast where the LEDs in dark areas are turned off, but this is irrelevant to computer monitors...
2. The other advantages of LED aren't all that significant: somewhat lower power usage, less heat, fast warm-up, no mercury.
Yes, LED displays produce more heat. That's why the brighter they get the more cooling they need, as in that huge dynamic LED display that had water cooled LEDs in it (name slips my mind).
But the viewing angles, color reproduction, and contrast ratios are supposed be much better with the LED's though, right?
LED brings one key improvement over CCFL: brightness uniformity.Backlight bleed and hotspots, especially in dark scenes, have always plagued CCFL lcds. An LED grid eliminates this random ass defect.

Link.Another problem our readers have pointed out is the non-uniformity of color temperature on the screen surface. It is due to the fact that monitors with LED-based backlighting employ triads of red, green and blue LEDs instead of white LEDs. If theres no independent regulation of the brightness of each LED in the triads, the resulting color temperature of different triads is going to differ a little due to the variations in the parameters of LEDs. Since each triad highlights its specific part of the screen, the color temperature of the image proves to depend on what point of the screen we measure it at.
I measured the temperature of white in six points of the screen to check this out. And the difference proved to be considerable indeed, up to 360K.
save the LCD technology from most of its weaknesses (viewing angles, image blur, input lag, poor black, backlight bleeding, ...)

LED helps in backlight bleeding because there are many more LEDs that are controlled individually. When it doesn't need to be on, it turns off, so there is no backlight bleeding because there is no light.I do not think that using a LED array is the solution for backlight bleeding.
Backlight bleeding occurs when the light is not 100% blocked (whether the source is CCFL or LED is irrelevant).

There isn't much lcd led technology right now except for expensive TVs.Except that no monitors actually do that yet, only some expensive TVs and that still brings on another set of artifacts. The only solution to backlight problems is to move to a backlight free technology (SED, OLED).

No test states that.
Any link, please?

better than LCD monitors with standard CCFL backlights. Differences can attain up to 50% and more commonly 25% between two areas.
See post #30Please provide links to models for which LEDs are controlled individually.

According to Displaybank's analysis, the penetration rate of LED LCD TVs is predicted to start growing fast from 2010, topping 3.5% by 2010 and 7.5% by 2011, up from 0.1% in 2008I thought LED Backlighting was going to be the new thing to look for (starting 2H of '07).
