LAS VEGAS--Though a few years ago LED backlights were a fairly novel concept to most, today virtually every monitor vendor is pushing LED-based displays out the door.

That must make it difficult for one manufacturer's LED monitor to stand out from the rest. LG's current solution is Super LED. This refers to its new line of LED monitors that, according to the company, generate 25 percent less power when Super LED mode is activated.

When the low power mode is activated, the monitor's backlight dims and the display's gain is adjusted. However it's unclear just how much each of these attributes are changed.

Incoming specs:

1920x1080 resolution 250 cd/M2 brightness (125 cd/M2 in 3D) 5 million:1 Dynamic Contrast ratio 5ms refresh rate VGA, DVI, HDMI connections

Look for more info in the coming months.
