Are the new budget LED backlit monitors good for photo editing?
I see a slew of them were debuted in late 2011 at the low end of the market for IPS panel monitors. |

While the LED backlights can be more energy efficient than fluorescent backlights, they typically do not give as wide a color gamut as a fluorescent backlight. This is because they rely on "white" LEDs, which have only decent color rendering.
A better LED backlight solution uses R, G and B LEDs, and such a backlight potentially would be very good indeed, but expensive. I'm not aware of any mass-market monitors using this type of backlight. FWIW, we *do* use this type of backlightin avionics displays.
