    Hey guys I found a great article from engadget comparing LED and LCD.


    http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/06/macbook-pro-backlight-comparison-led-vs-ccfl/

    [​IMG]
    CCFL on left at 100%, LED on right at 100%

    Closer...

    Closer!

    Viewing angle from left -- dramatic difference!

    [​IMG]
    Viewing angle from right.

    [​IMG]
    CCFL on left at 50%, LED on right at 50%

    [​IMG]
    Out a little, both at 50%

    I don't think viewing angles have anything to do with LED or CCFL.

    For any such test to be conclusive you would need to have the same brand/quality LCD panel using LED and CCFL.

    Wow I didn't realise there's such a big difference between the two! I always thought that LED's merely a tad brighter and more power-efficient. From the looks of it the texts are also crisper and more clear than the CCFL, even at half the brightness there, when it's actually dimmer than the CCFL.

    Man I was hoping m1330 comparison pics, not MBP! :p.

    @Phallus: Geez, could you please please PLEASE resize that picture? I'd suggest posting a thumbnail that everyone can click on to see a larger version. Nobody likes horizontal scrolling ;).
