LED monitor

Light-emitting diode display

An LED monitor is a flat-panel display that uses light-emitting diodes for backlighting.

The term distinguishes these screens from older LCD monitors that used fluorescent tubes.

Nearly all modern computer monitors and televisions use LED backlighting: I upgraded to an LED monitor for better color accuracy.

Some high-end displays use individual LEDs per pixel rather than just for backlighting.
