TN versus TN LED backlit

I've had to buy a new monitor for when I'm working on other PCs.

I have an Iiyama E2208 HDS connected to my computer:

And this is the new one, Iiyama E2282HS:

I've reset my monitor back to factory settings to try and compare the two accurately, yet the things that surprise me are:

1 - my monitor (E2208) seems brighter
2 - white seems more yellow on my monitor
3 - the newer monitor seems easier on the eyes without losing out in colour reproduction / brightness / contrast

Can anyone explain this?

I've reset my monitor back to factory settings to try and compare the two accurately, yet the things that surprise me are:

fair to say, factory settings isn't always the best. companies like Apple might spend time calibrating it properly, dunno if iiyama does

is the LED version's max brightness brighter than the non-LED max?

color temp is set the same, brightness/contrast wasn't. When I do that, the LED backlit once seems brighter to me, and my monitor's white is less yellow (and easier on the eyes on default settings). I think my monitor suffers from looking at it at different angles more (at sharper angles, the yellow-ish-white is more pronounced).

The dot pitch of these two monitors are the same, but the new monitor is connected to a Vista machine whereas mine is Win7, and I have the feeling that the ClearType implementation differs a little, I just can't put my finger on it, but mine seems clearer.
