I'm pretty sure that the website is supposed to be like the sun rising over the Earth.. saying that a "new day" is dawning on Apple so to speak, and that Apple is going to be awesome. That's about all they're suggesting, at least imo.]]>Jan 3rd 2007 6:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/03/apple-and-hp-readying-led-backlit-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/03/apple-and-hp-readying-led-backlit-laptops/
Sony TX and SZ laptops have them, I'm sure others do too.]]>Jan 3rd 2007 3:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/03/apple-and-hp-readying-led-backlit-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/03/apple-and-hp-readying-led-backlit-laptops/Jan 4th 2007 4:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/03/apple-and-hp-readying-led-backlit-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/03/apple-and-hp-readying-led-backlit-laptops/Jan 3rd 2007 3:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/03/apple-and-hp-readying-led-backlit-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/03/apple-and-hp-readying-led-backlit-laptops/
Cree has the capability of doing what is quoted. ]]>Jan 3rd 2007 4:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/03/apple-and-hp-readying-led-backlit-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/03/apple-and-hp-readying-led-backlit-laptops/Jan 3rd 2007 3:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/03/apple-and-hp-readying-led-backlit-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/03/apple-and-hp-readying-led-backlit-laptops/Jan 3rd 2007 3:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/03/apple-and-hp-readying-led-backlit-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/03/apple-and-hp-readying-led-backlit-laptops/
I guess I'll have to add this to the list of things I'm waiting for before my next laptop purchase. Sideshow and hybrid harddrives are the other 2 items on the list... I gave up on solid state hard drives.]]>Jan 3rd 2007 3:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/03/apple-and-hp-readying-led-backlit-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/03/apple-and-hp-readying-led-backlit-laptops/Jan 3rd 2007 8:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/03/apple-and-hp-readying-led-backlit-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/03/apple-and-hp-readying-led-backlit-laptops/Jan 3rd 2007 3:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/03/apple-and-hp-readying-led-backlit-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/03/apple-and-hp-readying-led-backlit-laptops/
you're incorrect. they say it "uses LED technology," it actually is an LCD, though. I have an SZ, great little laptop by the way]]>Jan 3rd 2007 4:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/03/apple-and-hp-readying-led-backlit-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/03/apple-and-hp-readying-led-backlit-laptops/Jan 3rd 2007 4:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/03/apple-and-hp-readying-led-backlit-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/03/apple-and-hp-readying-led-backlit-laptops/Jan 3rd 2007 3:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/03/apple-and-hp-readying-led-backlit-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/03/apple-and-hp-readying-led-backlit-laptops/Jan 3rd 2007 4:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/03/apple-and-hp-readying-led-backlit-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/03/apple-and-hp-readying-led-backlit-laptops/Jan 3rd 2007 5:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/03/apple-and-hp-readying-led-backlit-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/03/apple-and-hp-readying-led-backlit-laptops/
"Most LCD displays use a single lamp to illuminate the screen. XBRITE™ displays feature dual-lamp illumination for more evenly distributed light across the entire screen. This provides a brighter, more consistent display while maintaining a low power consumption profile."]]>Jan 3rd 2007 9:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/03/apple-and-hp-readying-led-backlit-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/03/apple-and-hp-readying-led-backlit-laptops/
LED backlit displays can be made 45% thinner than the conventional CCFL backlit displays. Expect the next MacBook Pro to be less than an inch thick (for real this time).]]>Jan 3rd 2007 6:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/03/apple-and-hp-readying-led-backlit-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/03/apple-and-hp-readying-led-backlit-laptops/
Right now, the Premium versions of the Vaio SZs and all Vaio TX's use LED backlighting. I own the TX myself and the screen is very thin thanks to the LED backlighting and quite bright as well. The screen is very thin but very sturdy as well, much sturdier than it looks, beleive me.

The only small downside is that there is a bit of light leakage at the bottom of the screen where you can see the LED's below shining, especially on the first batches of the TX, the TX1XP in Europe and TX6XXs in North America.]]>Jan 3rd 2007 7:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/03/apple-and-hp-readying-led-backlit-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/03/apple-and-hp-readying-led-backlit-laptops/

In the LCD flat-panel sphere, it isn't just Westinghouse -> Westy,
but also Samsung -> Sammy and Panasonic -> Panny

Gag me with a spoon, as they say.]]>Jun 8th 2007 6:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/03/apple-and-hp-readying-led-backlit-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/03/apple-and-hp-readying-led-backlit-laptops/Jan 3rd 2007 9:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/03/apple-and-hp-readying-led-backlit-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/03/apple-and-hp-readying-led-backlit-laptops/Jan 3rd 2007 10:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/03/apple-and-hp-readying-led-backlit-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/03/apple-and-hp-readying-led-backlit-laptops/Jan 4th 2007 10:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/03/apple-and-hp-readying-led-backlit-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/03/apple-and-hp-readying-led-backlit-laptops/
"Nichia-made LED" used in the laptop LCD backlight whose INTENSITY is 1680 mcd, not the LCD screen brightness.]]>Jan 5th 2007 2:18AM
