If you look beyond the offerings from major manufacturers, however, there are some good deals to be found online. Unfortunately, it’s much more difficult for us to get our hands on those screens because they often come and go before we have a chance to test them. In 2013, we managed to get an Auria EQ267W in the lab and found it be good-performing monitor at an unbeatable price. If you’re in the market for a 27-inch QHD/IPS screen, they are still available. And of course, gamers will want to check out Overlord’s Tempest X270OC, another 27-inch IPS that runs at up to 120Hz.
Today we’re checking out a unique offering from Monoprice, the 30-inch IPS LED. Yes, that’s really its name. There"s no alphabet soup to mess with. And here’s the best part: it sports a 16:10 aspect ratio. We’ve long lamented how rare this screen size has become, and we’re glad to see you can buy one in a jumbo size for such a low price.
Known merely as “Product 10734” the 30-inch IPS LED is listed (as I write this) for $689.33 at Monoprice.com. Considering the competition is both low in quantity and higher in price, it’s a steal for a monitor this big (especially one with a 16:10 aspect ratio).
Looking at our most recent reviews, the only other screen in its class is the BenQ BL3200PT, a 32-inch VA-based panel with 2560x1440 resolution and super-high contrast. But that one sports a 16:9 aspect ratio and offers only the sRGB color gamut. To find a closer match to the Monoprice, we had to go all the way back to June 2013 when we reviewed 30-inch 16:10 panels from HP and DoubleSight. The HP has since been replaced by a newer model, while you can still buy a DS-309W for around $1100.
You probably won"t want to, though. The Monoprice one-ups both competitors with the addition of a GB-r-LED backlight. The HP and DoubleSight use CCFL. Not only is the LED more energy-efficient, but it enables the wider Adobe RGB gamut. This is not something Monoprice mentions in its description; we discovered it during testing.
CCFL Warehouse has been producing the highest quality CCFL back lights for LCD displays of all types since 2002. Our capabilities are unmatched and we continually strive to exceed our customers� expectations in the quality of the lamps that we produce, our technical solutions, and of course our unparalleled customer service.
CCFL Warehouse can produce CCFL backlight in all shapes, lengths and configurations. The most common lamp diameters include 1.8, 2.0, 2.2, 2.4, 2.6, 3.0, 4.0, 6.0 and 8.0mm glass. Within these above mentioned diameters we can produce CCFL lamps ranging from 40mm up to well over 1,400mm in length that are now becoming increasingly more common in very large LCD televisions.
We specialize in precision color matching technology utilizing the latest in testing equipment to allow us to both analyze and produce any color CCFL back light required. This includes the full spectrum of white lamps commonly used in various LCD screens as well as specialty color, UV, and infrared lamps used in a wide range of applications.
Our current production capabilities are now well over 1 million CCFL lamps per month thanks to the integration of a state of the art production line. Further, due to the increased interest in completed CCFL lamp assemblies from our customers, we have focused our efforts to offer completed solutions for our customers. We now have the ability to produce any complete harnessed CCFL backlight lamp assembly to the exact OEM specifications. This includes the custom molds required to match silicone end caps as well as the molds and dies to cut and fabricate reflector assemblies. We can match and produce any existing lamp assembly no matter how complex.
CCFL Warehouse also has its eyes on the future as a great deal of our R & D over the past year and a half has been heavily focused on the production of new LED backlight assemblies and retrofit kits. Keep an eye out on our sites as we will be rolling out these products over the coming months with the same focus on quality and industry leading technology our customers have come to expect from us.
LED backlighting is the most commonly used backlight for small, LCD panels. Light-emitting diodes, or LEDs, are practical components for a light source because of their small size. LED backlighting is popular due to its overall low cost, long life, variety of colors and high brightness.
LED backlights are housed in a light box that has a diffuser to evenly distribute the LED light. The light box is then mounted behind the LCD’s viewing area. The LED backlight comes in two configurations: array and edge lit. The array configuration has the LEDs mounted in a uniform, grid layout within the light box. This configuration gives off a very bright, even light. The disadvantage of an array configuration is that it requires a thick light box design to accommodate the number of LEDs required. The high number of LEDs in this configuration also means it consumes more power.
A third type of backlight option available uses an electroluminescent (EL) panel. The EL backlight is constructed of a series of different material layers that work together to create the light. The EL panel generates light when an electric current (AC power) is applied to its conductive surfaces. The advantage with EL backlighting is its low power consumption, no heat emission, and overall thin composition. EL backlighting is limiting in that it requires an invertor to generate the VAC needed to emit the light.
The last common backlight option available are cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs). CCFL backlights are a cost effective option typically found in graphic displays. The CCFL backlight for LCDs is usually configured with the lamp on the edge of a diffuser to distribute the light. An inverter is required to supply the voltage required by the fluorescent lamp. CCFLs offer a bright white light with low power consumption. This backlight option is not ideal for cold-temperature applications (less than 15°C) as the light output decreases with decreased ambient temperature.
There are many different backlight options available for your LCD. The most common types are LED, fiber optic, EL, and CCFL backlights. Cost and application of your product will have the highest influences on which backlight technology is best for your LCD.
My understanding is that the CCFL displays cannot be interchanged with LED displays. I imagine this is because of the backlight inverter and brightness control.
PowerBook Medic sells new displays for your model $199 but they get bad reviews as a business. The trick is that I believe you need to replace the whole display assembly and not just the LCD module or CCFL bulb.
