Whats a difference between a 120hz LCD vs 120hz LED monitor?

Q. Can anyone shed some light? I'm stuck between buying the benq xl 2410 or asus vg236he. Only difference is asus is lcd and benqis led. Is it worth paying $400 for the led instead of the $328 lcd? What's the difference?

A. The only difference between an LCD and LED display is the backlight. In ordinary LCD displays, some sort of luminescent lamps are used, whereas LED displays use LED's (light-emitting diodes). The LED's consume less power (and therefore emit less heat), they also usually produce steadier light. The LED's also typically live longer than luminescent lamps.
Since LED displays consume less power and live longer, they are more economical in a long range. But given the price difference, it's unclear whether you'll get return on your investment any time soon (if at all).
Since the light characteristics differ quite a lot between different luminescent lamps and even more so between any of them and LED's, I'd suggest looking at the displays in question before buying them - just to make sure you like the colors.
