It's not a type of panel, but a backlighting method. There can be LED backlit TN panels and LED backlit IPS panels. Iit is not necessarily inherently better either. I'm using an LED backlit TN panel on this craptop. It's worse than the CCFL TN 1280 x 1024 panel I have on my PC.

I know that now (and yes it was me) but LED still changes one of regular TNs greatest flaws, the viewing angle. Due to a much stronger backlight there isn't anywhere near as much colour shift/brightness shift as you move away from the optimum view angle.

Rather clothed compared to the other stuff from your personal collection which is why I'd been wondering what the source work might be but ok I see. Pretty cool, though the AR and fake background would drive me nuts.

So being brighter helps the viewing angles?

The LEDs used in those types of panels, lower end TN monitors, is often WLED, which is inferior to CCFL in color gamut. Color accuracy is impacted. RGB LED is better.

Many of them are also just edge lit and not full array (this may be different with desktop displays but most laptops use edge lit to save power so maybe craptops just have crappier displays which goes to show it's a panel to panel and not backlighting to backlighting issue). Many may have big backlight bleed issues (this craptop is one) and Blacks may appear a bit bright/Blue. Uniformity/contrast can suffer and at least in my experience with this craptop's LED backlit display, more than negates any potential (if it's even there...) increased viewing angles advantages (this may be why if I go here, the viewing angles seem better, but in real viewing, the uniformity is so poor that it seems to have worse viewing angles in practice).

They have lower power because they use a minimal amount of LEDs.

This may or may not apply a given LED backlit panel. I'm not saying it applies to all. I'm just giving some examples of potential downsides in practice to show it's not an apples to apples thing. I told you before, it's panel to panel. The backlighting has an influence, but it's in how it's used. LED is not necessarily better. In practice, it's often arguably worse.

Well if it's brighter there's less distortion from the viewing angle since there are less "gaps" where it gets darker and overall the colours have a less electronic feel to them with the backlight making them look more solid. At least that's been experience with them...though I may have failed to correctly put into words the differences I've observed.

The back light has absolutely nothing to do with how the viewing angles are interpreted.

Unless it is full array backlit LED, then CCFL's are generally brighter in the real world. They also give off less blooming.

Well finally i'm done with reinstalling windows, using this anticipation for muv-luv total eclipse and its even better since its done by one of my favorite artists Sayori (well she plus Carnelian are my favorite artists :P):

That looks better than cropping it with Black space (or maybe I'm just biased because it's Purple, my favorite color shade), but I'd still skip on stuff like that myself.

Also, you're seemingly reinstalling Windows so often.

Well i hope i wont reinstall again after this (till november last year i actually was running the same windows for a lot of time), its just that after a more significant component upgrade i prefer to reinstall windows (something like RAM, CPU, MB, or in this case VGA), but that's not why i really did it, the problem was that in my last install i partitioned the disk wrong not giving enough space for "C" (45 GB), it was constantly on the verge of being left with no space, it surprised me though that it was not enough considering two of my most HDD consuming apps where on D (one of them being photoshop which even had the scratch disk moved there). I mean i used to have a long time ago all apps on C with a 50 GB partition... Anyway good thing out of all of this was that i finally got to save and import the links from opera to firefox, damn i don't want to touch that again :P.

PS: thanks really wanted to use that artwork but since it was design wide, it was what i thought about to make it work :P.

RAM and CPU upgrades certainly don't need a Windows reinstall. Video card upgrades don't either. A motherboard, sure, but not the others.

I know that they don't really need one but i still prefer to do it, call me strange .
