We’re currently investigating an issue related to the forum theme and styling that is impacting page layout and visual formatting. The problem has been identified, and we are actively working on a resolution. There is no impact to user data or functionality, this is strictly a front-end display issue. We’ll post an update once the fix has been deployed. Thanks for your patience while we get this sorted.

I have a NEC LCD2180QX LED monitor @ 2048x1536 resolution. Requires a dual-link DVI cable to run though.

Do the leds give better black levels and refresh rates?

Maybe somewhat, but I think the main goal is better color reproduction.
😕
How would changing the backlighting possibly change the response time?

I don't think refresh rates are much of an issue on LCD's. Backlight bleed, black levels and backlight life are the three biggest concerns off the top of my head.

lifeguard :? is it good LCD ... is it better than standard 21" LCD :?
IMO, much much better.. Not only is the resolution Higher, but the colors are better as well. You can read my opinions of it on the linked story above, but essentially it's an amazing monitor.
Unfortunatley, the insanely high price tag puts it out of most people's range and makes the Cost-to-Benefit ratio kinda crap.

You can fit a lot more stuff on the screen: terminal windows, word documents, web browsers, etc. In that respect it is much like the IBM T221 (9 Megapixel) monitor. However, since the screen size is 21", everything is (you guessed it) smaller. So for regular work I would prefer the Dell 2405 or Sony SDM-P234.
However, it is an LED LCD, so there are cases where the improved color gamut is worth it. In those cases, there are people who are willing to spend the money to buy it. In my case, I like to investigate bleeding-edge technology to see where it can be used to solve problems. See my Quake3 resolution? We have used that to solve problems that are too big to be otherwise solved. Quake 3 was just a "fun" thing we tried to prove it worked.
It is more expensive, so it will never take over the regular LCDs until the price comes down.

That looks very nice. It's hard to see the effect of the LEDs in the picture, but I can think of some places where it would make a difference and the 10-bit gamma correction sounds great; it would finally get rid of that annoying color banding. Although it seems the text would be rather hard to read? (I find 20x15 text on my 20" CRT way too small to read, even though it's quite sharp)
I wonder when they are going to actually release that monitor. Given that the lower end 16x12 version is already very expensive and there are no other 20x15 LCDs on the market, I'm guessing the price will go through the roof, although it's probably not that important to the people looking to buy this.

I think some of you are confusing LED-backlit monitors and LED-based monitors, like OLED (organic LEDs).
LED backlights don't offer any performance enhancements for the screen, I believe the benefits are mainly in size and cost.
