All-in-one (AIO) PCs are quickly becoming a dime a dozen with little to separate one Sandy Bridge or Fusion model from the next. Credit MSI with finding a way to differentiate its new Wind Top AE2071 model from the rest by supposedly being the first in the industry to use an LED panel. Combined with MSI's "unique energy-saving technology," power consumption is reduced by 30 percent compared to conventional CCFL panels, MSI claims.
The LED-backlit panel measures 20 inches and features a 1600x900 resolution. It supports multi-touch input and boasts independent screen controls, so you can turn it off completely without shutting down the system or putting it into standby mode. When turned off, the AE2071's power consumption is reduced by another 28 percent (idle), MSI says.
Other specs include:
The Wind Top AE2071 also includes an assortment of MSI's "Military class II components," like solid state capacitors and other higher end parts.

I thought LED backlights have been getting pretty common for a while now! It's nice to see that you can turn off the screen while leaving the PC running though - when listening to music but doing something not involving the computer I often do that.

I thought Apple had been using LED based displays in the iMac for a while now?

I guess Apple, whose iMac all-in-ones have had LED backlights for some time, isn't part of the "industry."
I know the PC world regularly copies Apple designs, but it takes a special sort of chutzpah to do so and claim you did it first!
