By now, almost everyone has made the switch to LCD monitors. While these monitors are much less bulky than the older CRT monitors, there are some disadvantages that can be solved by making another switch to the LED monitors.
LED monitors use a different back light source than your current monitor. They use LED lights placed around the perimeter of the screen for lighting. The tubes in your current monitor only have a lifespan of three to four years before they begin to loose brightness. Unfortunately, there is no way for you as a consumer to replace those tubes. If your computer begins to loose its brightness, your only choice is to replace the monitor. This continual replacement of monitors is one source of electronic waste that could be lessened by use of LED monitors.
A second disadvantage of the LCD monitors is that they are more bulky and heavy than the LED monitors. The florescent tubes require this additional thickness. LED monitors can be made quite thin, especially those that are edge lit monitors. These are the monitors that have been made possible by the technology developed for ultra thin laptops.
The florescent tubes in LCD monitors do not produce a full range of color of light. Therefore, there will be some of the LCD crystals that do not appear as bright when certain colors are lit compared to others. This may cause the image to appear to be blurry or less clear than the same image on an LED monitor.
In addition, you will save energy with these newer monitors. While the amount may seem insignificant for a desk top computer, for a notebook or laptop computer less energy consumption means longer battery life.
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.
Still other users find LED screens to be too bright for their applications. Since the brightness can cause eyestrain after continued use, users are advised to find monitors that allow for brightness control. By dimming the monitor, users may reduce the amount of eyestrain they experience.
Even though there are complaints, the LED monitor is one of the best available monitors on the market today. They are super thin, have great clarity and last longer than the LCD monitors that they are replacing.
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.
