Well how about this -— Across the Apple line-up you have monitors, laptops, iPads. How many are LCD and how many are LED? I have been using LCD monitors since 1999 (first one I got was a 14” Princeton) and have seen how much they have improved over the years. Today’s improved LCDs seem to be very good for 85% of users. Are LED monitors better for gamers and graphics artists? You tell me but they are elite computer users.
The way I see it a good solid Acer, Asus or Samsung LCD monitor of 21-24 inches is what 90% of computer users will be quite happy with

Because of this, Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac could in some circumstances "pre-empt" the OS functionality via its on-access component by detecting the malware before the OS feature does.  However, the OS functionality is still there; it just wouldn't get the chance to detect the malware.

Say what? Dennis? It's obvious you do not have a clue what you are talking about. All of Apple' line of LCD monitors are now LED. the LED refers to how the are illuminated. Older panels were lit by florescent gas discharge tubes which drew a lot of power, required high voltage, and were thicker. New technology is a bar of low energy light emitting diodes, much thinner, and much more efficient.

Um, are you saying you have, or have seen a true LED screen? Because last time I checked, an LED display meant it was an LCD backlit by LEDs.

I recently read an article that stated that researchers think they have found a way to manufacture green LEDs that have the same luminosity and longevity as the red and blue ones. If that’s true, then that’s the Holy Grail. But I don’t think they’ve worked them into displays yet.
