LCD-LED screen

#1 Post by bdarco »

today i bought 2x iiyama ProLite E2483HS 24'' screens, but after unboxing them i noticed its a LED-LCD screen, wich i did not notice in the store.

they where a bit more expensive then regular samsung or lg screens, but this whole "LED-LCD" scared me because i thought that LCD is an old technology.

google, told me its a LCD screen using a LED-backlight, but is that better then a regular LED screen?

Question, did i ripped myself with buying a LED-LCD screen? or is it actually better compared to regular LED screens?

If it isn't what you wanted, I would take it back and exchange, for exactly what
I want, if they don't have it , get your money back.
Sales men often tell you anything they think you want to hear, just to convince
you that it is what you want.
they where a bit more expensive then regular samsung or lg screens
Is a "regular samsung or LG screen" what you wanted ?
Does that not tell you something, ? they sold you the more expensive item,
even though it was not even what you are looking for, Take it back , and tell them
you want the regular samsung or LG screen ( if that is what you want )
told me its a LCD screen using a LED-backlight, but is that better then a regular LED screen?
To be honest I don't know, but that is not the point, the point is, they sold you something else, that is more expensive, and maybe obsolete, if that is not what you wanted , take it back.

led monitors ARE lcd, the leds back-light the lcd. Older lcd moitors use fluorescent for back-light. Led monitors are more efficient.

You didn't get ripped off. Led is less power hungry.
