LED backlight TFT-Displays (for laptops)

259 points posted to Monitors and Displays, Laptops by svenmeyer 02/20/07

If you use your laptop for a while, you will notice already after a few months that the brightness of the display decreases, the color changes, what was white a the beginning starts to look more blueish or greenish ... all this could be avoided with LEDs instead of flourescent lamps as backlight. Also the save power and distribute the light more evenly across the screen.
I'm not buying a new laptop until it has LED backlight (and HMDI/DVI ports). I'm not willing to spend another $2000-3000 only to see my display fade away after a few months ...

Please pair LED backlights with non-glossy screens!

But isn't that the choice of the manufacturer? Dell does not manufacture the displays, they are manufactured for Dell. So, in effect your Idea should be modified to include/put in that Dell should select manufacturers that provide LED Backlights. IMHO
