You are not asking about LED displays you are asking about LCD displays
with a LED back light a totally different thing.
LED displays are only commercially available at about 11"
LED monitors do not require a backlight and black is black on them
rather than a shade of grey. the small sample screen I saw was as good
as my Lacie CRTs.

They are only calling them LED displays in the article you reference because
the article is specifically about these LCD displays which use LED
backlights instead of a fluorescent backlight.

I've never heard anyone call them LED displays in normal conversation. LCD
displays are LCDs whether they have an LED backlight, like your phone or GPS
or ipod, or a fluorescent display, like most computer monitors, or no
backlight at all, like the cheap stuff.

LED displays are found at your ballpark, at concerts, and on small OLED
displays like the $2000 Sony TV and many MP3 players.

So when you ask about LED displays, you're not likely to get much
information about LCD displays.

If you were as clever as you pretend to be
you wouldn't have been stupid enough to top post.

The label on the monitor says: "LED Back light Unit". One could be
forgiven for thinking they are entirely LED displays.

If you were as all around wonderful as you seem to think you are, you might
have had something useful to contribute.
