The only difference they have LED's as light-source instead of lamps. The display is in both cases LCD. I think that actually to produce LED-lights is cheaper but it is a new fad and therefore more expensive. (My last screen was a "cheap" (Philips) LCD-screen from the sales corner: works as a charm). Cheers, Joep </blockquote> Yes, I know that the image-forming technology is the same, but perhaps the folks who make LED sets use fewer pixels? I couldn't understand why what I was seeing was true, but it was. It was mostly noticeable with black text on a white background, which is much of what I use a computer for. </blockquote> Sharpness depends, in part, on the brand you choose. There are 2 other differences between LCD and LED in monitors AND TVs. They are; LED "anything" costs less to run...less electricity, and the life of LED is far longer than plasma and also LCD.
