LED backlight versus CFL in laptops

[Jan Panteltje]

While playing with the eeePC I realized that I had not felt the urge for
a colour adjustment, strange as I am picky about colour, and did spend ages
getting the colour close to acceptable on other LCDs.

Changing the brightness up or down did not seem to affect colour either,
so I began to wonder if this thing had perhaps a LED backlight.
I never had a laptop with LED backlight... so I looked up the specs of
this little machine, and indeed LED!

I must say the difference is enormous, the LED backlight creates a much better colour
display, almost like the old CRT but without its problems.
Dunno how they did it, it is pretty evenly lighted too.

And it should last longer.

And use less power and run cooler and reduce weight since the battery
can be made smaller.

LEDs are the future of lighting.
I recently bought a Chinese 3W LED flashlight. It is *incredibly* bright
for its size. Cost me around $15

Municipalities and larger transportation departments are watching LED
roadway lighting for the crossover in obtaining desired lighting
pattern versus total life costs. I have seen some of the testing.
