LED monitors and heat
Do LEDs run cooler than LCDs? I am trying to decide whether it is worth the extra $100 to get an LED (back-light) monitor.
Thanks

No. As long as you like the colours/brightness of the non-LED monitor.

Did you consider the cost of operation in the long haul? LED consumes like 1/3 the power of regular backlit LCD. I don't know about heat but if that's the case, then that would be good as well if you're running multiple setups.Busybuyer888 wrote: ↑No. As long as you like the colours/brightness of the non-LED monitor.
Considering most LCD monitors are between $180 - $300, an extra $100 is a lot of money for three letters. The current LED technolgy is via edge lighting, not local dimming (array of LEDs behind entire LCD panel).
$100 can get you a 1.5 TB Hard Drive.

If you want to be "green", I agree low power consumption is better.The Radio Dept. wrote: ↑Did you consider the cost of operation in the long haul?
