The Light-Emitting Diode also known as LED is a semiconductor diode which emits light at a junction bias. The effect is a form of electroluminescence. A LED is a low light source, many times accompanied by an electrical circuit which allows the modulation of the light ray’s shape. Often these are used as indicators inside electronically devices, but recently are used in power applications as source of illumination. The emitted color depends of the composition and status of the semiconductor material, and it can be in the infrared spectrum, visible or ultraviolet.

LED backlighting in color screens comes in two forms: white LED backlighting and RGB (Red Green and Blue) LED backlighting. White LEDs are often used in notebooks and desktop monitors.

The LCD monitors with LED backlight offer you a lower power consumption up to 60% – 70%, more alive colors, greater contrast and bigger brightness. Below you have a list with the top 5 Best LED LCD monitors from the greatest manufacturers with great prices. So get ready to throw your old CRT or LCD monitor away and get one of these instead:

Upgrade your computer’s display with one of these beauties and you’ll be completely satisfied with their performances in any application you run.

The first monitors could display only text type information available in only two colors – green, red or yellow on a black background, also on a gray or white background. The monitors today are able to display moving images with billion color tones.

An LCD monitor has three electron tubes for each color whose electronic flows must be perfectly convergent for a clear image. Thanks to the way the image forms on an LCD monitor, these don’t have focusing problems, each cell opens and closes independently. There’s a reason for why the text appears better on an LCD monitor; there are none refresh rate problems on an LCD monitor, it’s cells  are either stop or start, thereby the displayed images at 40 to 60 Hz refresh rates are as clear as the ones at 75 Hz.

So how do LCD monitors work ? The liquid crystals inside them are arranged like a sandwich between pieces of polarized glass. The fluorescent light that we talked about earlier emits light that goes through the first substrate. The electrical charge makes the crystal cells align allowing different tones of light to pass through that second substrate. The result are the fabulous colors that are displayed on your screen. So no more cathode tubes, no more radiation, no more head or eyes aches. So when you’re having doubts the next time you want to change that old CRT monitor that clearly occupies the whole desk, you will think twice on the advantages of the LCD monitors, even if their price is sometimes four times the price of your CRT monitor, you’ll see the difference in the future. So make the right choice: LCD yes, CRT no.
