    Is it worth to pay the extra money to get the LED's display? I read that besides the weight and the brighter colors, the power consumption is similar.

    I will use the XPS to develop in Java and ocassional gaming or watching a movie, so I don't know if ...

    Thank you for your advice!

    The LED backlights are more efficient and will use less power at the same brightness level while being brighter when on full power.

    I bought it mostly because its lighter and thinner, and when I spent this much money (1700 before taxes without LED) why not spend a little more ($150) for a better screen?
