LED pictures are nice, though I am scared of LED might die. I heard you cannot leave on LED monitors for a long period of time.

Take note that "LED" monitor is marketing misnomer. They are LCD panels with LED backlights... :) We don't call current LCD montiors "CCFL" monitors...

Will be interesting to see the actual longevity numbers. LEDs /should/ be superior to the CCFL tubes in use now since those have a very definate and known life time.

The upshot is, I wouldn't leave any LCD monitor on for any longer than you were actually using it, the backlights all wear out.

This is what I have in 24", I believe. I've had it for two years and it's always on (sister uses it during the night; father during the day) and it has yet to "burn out".
