What is a LED monitor? The term "LED monitor" generally refers to a monitor with a LCD panel and a LED backlight. A typical LCD monitor uses cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL) as a light source to illuminate the LCD panel. In an LED backlit monitor, white LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) are used as the light source. LED backlights provide the following benefits:

• About 50% less power consumption compared to traditional CCFL monitor
• 10,000,000:1 MEGA Contrast Ratio
• mercury-free backlight
• Low EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference)
• Slimmer design
• Weight reduction

Save cash and save the planet With its mercury free backlight and low energy consumption, the Energy Star 5.0 certified VA2448m-LED is friendly on your electricity bill. The savings of LED can add up to thousands of dollars saved for large install bases, such as big corporate buildings or schools. The savings can be as dramatic as $20,000 in five years!

MEGA dynamic contrast ratio One of the great features of VA2448m-LED is its ability to dim the backlight completely for pure darkness during dark scenes, such as a night shot in a movie. Contrast ratios refer to the ratio of the brightest color to the darkest color. With traditional CCFL backlit displays, contrast ratios are limited to the fluorescent lamp’s ability to dim, in order to reproduce darkness. However, with the LED backlight, each LED has the ability to completely shut-off allowing for a near infinite ratio of black to white contrast. The end result is true blacks that result in greater overall image quality.

Full HD 1080p resolutionThe VA2448m-LED features a 24" (23.6” Visible) widescreen with 1920x1080 resolution is capable of displaying a native Full HD 1080p image. Today, devices that can display Full HD content output are getting more and more common. However, without a native Full HD display, you will not be able to experience the picture clarity and the details of the 1080p content you view.

Pair it with a ViewSonic or Mac computerOne of the key advantages of the VA2448m-LED monitor is its diverse connectivity options, making it flexible to be paired with a PC or a Mac computer. ViewSonic has recently announced a full line of PC products, including PC Minis and all-in-one PCs. Now you can hook up any Viewsonic PC as well as a MacBook® or a Mac Mini to the VA2448m-LED and enjoy a full 24" (23.6" Visible) widescreen with LED backlight!

Customer Reviews

I needed a pair of 24" monitors to work from home more efficiently. I had a smaller 20" LCD + my laptop screen, but that just didn't cut it. I have dual 24" at work, and needed to get the same for the house to make life easier when working from home without breaking the bank. These fit the bill - Out of the box these monitors are a little on the bright side with factory settings. I had to turn down the contrast(to 40) and brightness (to 50) to get the windows 7 colors to look more natural/less washed out. Compared to my Dell work monitors these are very similar in screen quality, at least to my eye. At home (when I'm not working) I do mostly web surfing, some programming, a little youtube, etc. For what I do for work, as well as home entertainment, these monitors work just fine.
I view these mostly straight on, and from where I sit, the screens are evenly lit. Sitting any more than about 15 degrees off center, you can start to see the screen change. I do not use the speakers so have nothing to say about them. Not a single dead pixel is an added plus.
All in all, these are simple monitors that don't break the bank, but provide plenty of screen real estate in a reasonable footprint. I find that these help to reduce the eye strain I had been dealing with using the smaller 20" + laptop monitors.
Also, I got these on sale - They were just shy of a buck forty each with free shipping, so the price was right.

Purchased this for $120, thought it was a steal so i picked one up for my house.
Opened the package and here are some bullet points:
Pros:
Price Price Price
Clean bevels makes it look very nice on your desk
Speakers are hidden so it doesn't look bulky
Basically....it looks good off.
Cons:
Colors look washed out especially blacks (even when trying to change the settings with contrast or turning the brightness down it just ends up looking worse.)
Doesn't come with a DVI cable
Controls are awkwardly placed behind the monitor
Wobbly Stand
Monitor Height is only about 3.5/4 inches off the table so you'd have to get a table top if you're going to want it higher
Color Shifting- Just moving left to right on my chair i can see tint shift in white to yellowish
No HDMI - But i didn't expect that on a budget monitor anyways
In short for people still on conventional TFT-LCD /TN/CRT monitors you will see a difference in Clarity but its nothing to write home about with this specific unit. If you just need a monitor for general browsing and nothing like photoshop/design/photography then its a good monitor with the $120 price point.
Id probably go with a 23" HP LED X Series if i had to pay more, i saw it in store and the colors were much much richer. Hopefully this helps some of you guys.
