Upcoming Dell monitors to have LED backlights

@ 2009/01/09
LED backlighting technology has been a staple of thin-and-light laptops for some time, but it's been largely absent from the desktop scene (Apple's $899 LED Cinema Display being a notable exception). Dell seems intent on changing that, because it's announced a pair of desktop consumer monitors that shed traditional CCFL backlights in favor of LEDs.

The new 22" G2210 and 24" G2410 both have 1,000:1 contrast ratios, 250cd/m² luminosity, 5ms response times, and very low power draw—Dell quotes a typical 18W for the G2210 and 22W for the G2410. The G2210 also has a 1680x1050 resolution and will cost $279 when it comes out in February, while the 1920x1080 G2410 will roll out at $359.
