LCD Vs LED

By Tony Waza


There's been a disagreement about what's the best gaming monitor at this time. The confusion for many gamer pops up once the LED monitor was launched on the market. They thought the product was new and that it might perform far better in comparison towards the traditional style LCD monitor. But the majority of us don't fully realize that the LED gaming monitor is simply a LCD monitor that simply utilizes a light giving off diode for it's back-lighting.

This is what makes it a LED gaming monitor different from the LCD monitor. This is only one of the differences when comparing it to a traditional LCD monitor which has been using cold cathode fluorescent lamp for its back light.

Both monitors however were using liquid crystals in their display panels. Are we able to say there shouldn't be comparison forwards and backwards? And also the LED versus LCD comparison ought to be disregarded? My estimation for this can be a large "NO".

Even if these two monitors are using liquid crystals for its display panel there are still other factors to consider that might be beneficial if we choose either LED vs LCD screens. These factors include the energy or power consumption, risk of back light bleeding, life-span and longevity of usage and how they perform with the different types of games you are playing.

In terms of energy consumption, an LED gaming monitor consumes a very minimal power compared to a LCD monitor. Hence, if you are on a tight budget and are looking for some alternatives to reduce your electricity bill you should sell your LCD monitors now and replace it with an LED gaming monitor!

Ghosting is sometimes a problem that occurs on your display panel. This only happens when you have been playing on a monitor that has a very slow refresh rate. This situation can ruin your game play and cause you to fail a campaign that you have been playing for 28 hours. In this area an LCD screen has an advantage since it has smaller chance to have back light bleeding or ghosting. In terms of the life span, the LED gaming monitors last much longer then the LCD monitors.

Lastly, we should also match our monitor to the kind of games that we'll be playing. If you like playing games, a LED gaming monitor can provide you with a great ambiance and brightness. But, if you need a darker or richer experience a LCD gaming monitor will meet your needs well.
