The term "LED monitor" generally refers to a monitor with a LCD panel and a LED backlight. A typical LCD monitor uses cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL) as a light source to illuminate the LCD panel. In an LED backlit monitor, white LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) are used as the light source. Environmentally friendly LED backlight provide the following benefits:
 |
| Cold Cathode Flourescent Lamp |
 |
| LED: Light Emitting Diode |
- About 40% less power consumption compared to traditional CCFL monitor
- 30,000,000:1 MEGA Contrast Ratio
- Environmentally friendly mercury-free backlight
- Low EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference)
- Slimmer design
- Weight reduction
