Showcase: Budget LED Monitor Parade – Triple Treat


Introduction and Specifications

In Light of LED

Last month, DisplaySearch reported that the use of LED backlights in LCD monitors and mobile PCs has nearly reached 100%. Proving the report’s consistency with consumers’ demand in reality, there is a gush of LED-backlit monitors in stores these days – they are now virtually ubiquitous. Apace with the rising demand, prices of LED-backlit monitors continue to plummet. At the time of writing, 23- and 24-inch full HD LED-backlit displays are on offer at the price of around USD 147 on the average, according to Pricewatch.com. In the Philippines, you can get these for an affordable price lower than PhP 10,000. A couple of years back, non-LED LCD monitors were more expensive, costing around PhP 12,000, in smaller display sizes with lower video resolutions and higher power consumption.

In our showcase, we gather a threesome of LED-backlit monitors that are reasonable, taking into account factors like display size, feature set, and price point. In the spotlight are the AOC Razor e2343F, the Philips Brilliance Blade 234CL2SB, and the ViewSonic VA2448m-LED. Before we discuss each of them, let us have a rundown of their features and specifications.
