How do LCD monitors compare to LED monitors?

Solution 1:

If you ever think you should wait for better display technology -- the answer is probably yes.
However, if you need a display today, your question should be which is the right one and will LED display prices fall faster than your urge for the display rises.

Solution 2:

Its mainly about brightness and power consumption. LED screens have less power consumption and generally higher brightness.

If you're looking at quality look up on IPS (in-plane switching) screens.
