LED Monitors Are The Bright Choice
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 y
There is one primary difference between the LCD monitor and the LED monitor. That difference is the source of the back light. In the older monitors, the source of the back light was a florescent tube. After three to four years these tubes begin to dim. Since there was no way for the consumer to change the florescent tubes the monitor eventually had to be replaced. The picture on the monitor becomes progressively darker and due to this become a large source of electronic waste in our landfills.
In addition, although lighter than the monitors they replaced, LCD monitors are still heavier and thicker than LED monitors. Part of the thickness is due to the size of the florescent tubes. In contrast, LED monitors are very thin, especially if they are the edge lit type of monitor. It is the introduction of these monitors that make the ultra thin notebooks of today possible.
A third disadvantage of the LCD monitors is that the florescent light does not produce a full color spectrum. There are some colors that are just not as bright with these monitors as they are with the LED monitors that produce a high quality white light.
The lower energy consumption of LED monitors is a great advantage to laptop users, especially those who are running on the battery. Additionally, LED monitors are brighter in color and have a longer lifespan before the lighting starts to dim.
There are some complaints about the edge lit LED monitors. Some users find that the screen does not appear to be evenly lit and is brighter along the edges than it is in the center. This matter may be resolved simply through daily use of the monitor to allow your eyes to adjust to the difference.
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.
By choosing a monitor with a long life, you make a choice for the environment. This choice will mean that you do not have to replace the monitor every time you replace your computer. By using the same monitor for the life of more than one computer, you help to keep landfills free of electronic waste. Choosing an LED monitor should be the clear choice.
