LED backlit LCD screens (help with a purchase)

At this point I suppose I should be asking if there is significant reason to prefer an LED lit versus a CCFL lit monitor. It seems as if the only ones worth mentioning are too expensive. Also, people have been saying that LEDs are brighter, but all of the ones I've seen have been dimmer. The CCFL are rated at 300 where as the LEDs are rated at 250.

Why do you care if others can see it? Can YOU see it? You'd be like a crazy audiophile who gets hard ons with .flac yet in reality, you can't tell the difference between 128kbps and 256kbps.

But yes, I know what Gogeta is trying to say with the Samsung LED vs the Sony LED//240Hz LCD. The colors are indeed somewhat wonky, but I assumed it was "fixable" via the use of modifying options. Samsung LEDs are not visually exceptional vs certain other tvs, but price wise, they're not bad for entry in to the LED scene.

Why do I care? Simply because I want to make sure that what I'm buying is worth the money I open the box. I made this topic because I can tell that my monitor's contrast ratio isn't good enough, and that the dynamic contrast ratio is worthless, and want something that doesn't have this problem. I don't know the answers to the questions I've asked and I can't find it else where.

That's as much a problem with the TN panel as it is with the backlight.

The 23" Dell UltraSharp is $300, and it certainly won't have a problem with contrast ratio.  You'll have to spend a lot more to get something appreciably better, especially if you want a grid based LED backlight with an IPS, FFS, or PVA panel.

bloody000:
Only high-end studio displays have RGB LED array, with a radioactive colour gamut(also true for wide gamut CCFL displays).

99% of the LED backlighted display you see are using white LEDs, aka blue LEDs with yellow phosphor. The best they could do is sRGB, more likely than not they don't even cover 90% of the sRGB gamut.
