Quote from LeeD:
Any LCD monitor has a backlight. It works on the same principle as movie projector. There is white light; and the film contains colours of different brightness or totally blocks the light to produce shades of black. In an LCD monitor backlight is the source of light and liquid cristall filters this light to produce colours.

The opening post asks about an LCD monitor with specifically LED (not just any) backlight.
Thanks!
