Acer Intros S243HLbmii W-LED Illuminated Display
Acer released its newest PC display, the S243HLbmii. This 24 inch widescreen LCD display sports a futuristic design, and is only 14.5 mm thick. Some of its biggest selling points apart from the design include LED illumination that consumes a mere 17.2W during normal operation, a 65% reduction in energy consumption, compared to LCDs with conventional CFL illumination. The illumination isn't the conventional LED backlit either. The W-LED technology it uses provides a dynamic contrast ratio of 8,000,000:1 (static remains at 1,000:1), with a maximum brightness of 250 cd/m². The native screen resolution is 1920 x 1080, with a response time of 2 ms (GTG). Concealed in the frame, are the two 1W speakers. Display input connectivity includes D-Sub, and two HDMI connectors. It has started selling in Japan for 33,000¥ (240€).

I'll take one with DisplayPort, 120Hz and no speakers, please.
Remember people, you can bring down the wattage of your monitor by simply lowering the brightness. My monitor itself received some bad reviews: "washed out colour", I've found that is only the case when the brightness is wrongly set.
So make sure you optimise the colour, contrast and brightness settings to get the best out of your hardware.
and i wonder if this kind of screen can scale up to 30" and still keep the great price
i think they hid the cables/connectors in the stand, which is why its so thin - the panel section is thinner than an IEC power plug for the monitor, so it has to go into the base.
Kinda like the looks of it nice and sharp and again none of this melted look which looks like crap IMO. Seems like the sharper look is on the way back once again lol.
EG i go to a lan, and i can take a 360 with me and use a HDMI port with audio, and have 4 people join in using the built in speakers. (FYI, regular speakers are not allowed at most LAN events)
But ya having at least a cheap speaker solution is by far better than the ones built into the panel.
Plus Mussels had a good point about LAN parties and not being allowed to bring external speakers.
no need to rage so hard...
if you feel like discussing samsung selling non LED tv's as LED TV's, please make a new thread about it in general hardware.
it does LOOK a little better, but its no different really. i prefer the smaller base over the thinner panel, as it takes less space up on my desk.

(yes i know, 2 years old, but both technologies have grown at about the same rate)
1. cheaper
2. brighter
3. thinner screens
even if it has other flaws swansen (please, list these drawbacks - i'm curious) they have enough good reasons to make them work in the market.
It doesn't look like it's even height adjustable.
Nice specs. The LED TV's I've seen at BB are good, but not worth the price differential.
