Although the major difference between LCD and LED displays is just the backlight but
it also confers a number of improvements in the LED displays which are covered in the
subsequent section:
Contrast: Contrast and Black level of the LED screen is better than the LCD screens
because the liquid crystals cannot stop 100% of the backlight from cold cathode
backlight and hence when the black screen is to be shown on the monitor, it is not
completely black (as shown in the below image). But LED screens perfectly show the
black screen as there is no backlight at all.
Color accuracy: Color accuracy for direct and edge LED displays and LCD displays
are almost same but the RGB LEDs display has quite better color accuracy. There are
three different types of LED monitors available based on the manner how the diodes are
arranges in the monitor. These are – Direct LEDs, Edge LEDs and RGB LEDs. Both
Edge and Direct LED display monitors use white diodes that are used to illuminate the
LCD panel to produce the improved picture quality. The arrangement of LEDs in the
monitor is shown in the below image:
