LED (Light Emitting Diode) backlighting has seen a real push recently, with many manufacturers keen to show off their ‘green’ credential. Not only does the use of LED backlighting make a monitor more efficient and cooler-running; it also allows the product to be free of mercury (an environmental issue during disposal), lighter and thinner. Some…

BenQ are no stranger to innovation and have been one of the first manufacturers to widely adopt and implement edge-lit LED (Light Emitting Diode) backlighting. Not only does this enhance the ‘green’ and ‘eco-friendly’ status of a monitor by drawing less power than traditional CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) backlighting; it also does away with…

Introduction Monitor manufacturers are keen to improve the efficiency of their devices and show off their ‘green’ credentials by such innovations as using energy-efficient LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) as a backlight. Not only does this improve efficiency by drawing less power (and importantly – wasting less energy through heat); it also allows the product to…
