What is the difference of LED monitor and LED backlit monitors? Which is better and which is this

Googling for an answer shows that they are two different labels used to market the same item. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/57617-3-difference-backlit-monitors

The backlight is done by LEDs as opposed to LCDs, so it's the same thing, The second naming is just more complete.

Sorry, I can only guess, I'm not really a technical guy.Best guess, the only difference is what words the seller chooses to include in their description. I'm pretty sure this one is backlit, but unfortunately the manual came on CD, and my computer doesn't have a CD drive.

Mike it is an LED Monitor and it is probably the best display I have ever owned and I have bought hundreds of monitors over the last 33 years for my business. Fantastic picture 1920 x 1080 Resolution.

VGA is less defined.DVI will give you a crisper image and a more thorough black. For office work or just messing around, they both work, but if you want visually compelling, VGA < DVI < HDMI

The choice is entirely up to your viewing preferences. LED performs better in brightly lit rooms. But Plasma has the better picture hands down, and I do most of my tv viewing after work and in the evenings on weekends.

Well if u ment "IPS" not "ILS" panel then the difference would be image quality and response time, also price. this is a TN monitor so it is snappy quick and low cost, but not as high quality, image wise, as an IPS. here this should help some http://www.cnet.com/topics/monitors/buying-guide/n but if ur going for mostly movie watching go for a IPS panel monitor. they have better image quality and also i notice this monitor has some backlight bleed (black doesn't look black in a dark scene or picture, kinda has some gray to it)

There is only one version of this monitor. It is an LCD monitor of type AH-IPS. It has LED *backlighting*.Any monitor you are probably thinking about getting is an LCD monitor (of some panel type, like TN or AH-IPS). The 'LED' in monitor descriptions always refers to the backlighting technology, older and cheaper monitors used fluorescent lighting (CCFL).

LCD and LED aren't mutually exclusive technologies. The screen is LCD, and the lighting is LED. This monitor is amazing, I bought it a few weeks ago. You won't be disappointed.

It is a led light witch pops out more then a dot on the screen. In reality there is no difference just appearance. I can focus on the dot more sense it lights up

It is an LED lit monitor, the older models were that allot of people were used to were LCDs.

It is an LCD monitor. It does have LED's to light the screen, however. So, it has both but is LCD to display the image, and uses LEDs for lighting the screen up.

I can only can give my opinion but, in any past experience I have had regarding LED displays like this is not good.Generally, you would have to replaceThe whole display module.... But I might be wrong. :0/

not sure about relative to led's. but i had a plasma before this one and i could hardly watch when the blinds were open. with this one the image is clear as a bell. no issues in a well lit room. happy with my set. believe the hype.

Traditional big box monitors were lit using a Cathode Ray Tube (CRT), which was generally very hot due to the extremely high voltage required to power them. The next generation of monitors (What people typically refer to as "Flat-Screen," but actually the difference was in the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) vs. the glass projection screen from the CRTs) were much slimmer and took a lot less power to operate; these were lit by Compact Fluorescent (CFL) bulbs, typically found at the bottom but sometimes both bottom and top. To finally answer your question, "LED lit" monitors use Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) to light up the image you see on the LCD screen. So what you need to understand from an advertising perspective is, if the monitor is being sold as "LCD" then it is likely "lit" by CFL. If the monitor is being advertised as "LED lit," then it is still an LCD but uses LEDs to light up the display. The benefit of "LED lit" is drastically reduced power consumption, as well as brighter back lighting and typically less bleed over on the edges so the blacks look darker.

HiThank you for your interest.The difference is pixel policy.Please check the pixel policy of each description.This monitor is Perfect Pixel(0 defective pixel) monitor.Thank you.

What Mike said. They're all LCDs with LED backlighting. Some better than others. This one's a great monitor though, especially for the price! Only advice I have is if purchasing more than one for a multi-monitor set up you will 100% need some calibration software. I bought two and they are completely different temps. Not even close (this is standard with monitors within the industry). Calibration is a must...but well worth it for product at this price point.

In terms of 'flat displays', there are essentially two technologies, LCD and Plasma. In focusing in on this, the LCD screen is lit from behind with LED lighting, as opposed to fluorescent tube lighting. LED's should result in lower power draw, even lighting across the screen (no or little light bleed), and less heat.

Edit: Sorry for misleading, they are both ficker free. The major difference is GL2760H is TN panel; GW2760HS is VA panel. And GW2760HS has 1W*2 built-in speakers; GL2760H not. Another difference is GW2760HS uses a DC (Direct Current) method for background light brightness control but GL2760H use old PWM background light brightness control. In another word, GW2760HS is flicker free but GL2760H not; that's why GW2760HS more expensive.
