LED backlit displays still command a premium over typical LCD panels, but things are steadily improving. Enter Samsung, which just announced its new line of affordable 31 series LED monitors.
"The 31 series LED monitors fit the needs of consumers looking to upgrade to an LED monitor on a budget, especially this holiday season," said young Bae, director of display marketing, Samsung Enterprise Business Division. "This line of monitors, designed with students and small and home office users in mind, stays true to Samsung's legacy of sleek design and superior LED performance."
So far the 31 series consists of four models, including the 20-inch BX2031, 21.5-inch BX2231, 23-inch BX2331, and 24-inch BX2431. Save for the BX2031, each one sports an ultra-slim 19mm design, Full HD 1920x1080, 2ms response time, 5,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, and 2 HDMI inputs. The BX2031 differs in that it carries a 1600x900 resolution, 5ms response time, and VGA and DVI-D inputs (no HDMI).
The 31 series will ship later this month for $169 (BX2031), $199 (BX2231), $239 (BX2331), and $279 (BX2431).

Great to read that they are finally coming out with LED. Samsung has an awesome 3D LED the 8000 so they should know what they are doing when it comes to LED. I was going to get the Apple LED display but it is almost $1000, this will be a better option. Cant wait for the reviews.

This is a really good price for LED backlit displays. With these models, you can buy LED for the same price as LCD now.

Hey Paul have you tried hooking up a gaming computer up to one of these large screen 120hz 1080P LCD TV's to see how they do as a monitor and gaming display? Seems like 120hz (whatever that means) will allow for faster response times.
I know in the past LCD TV's sucked at being monitors, but surely the technology has improved since then.
