Source : DigitimesWith the help of the crisis, the price of the LED retro-lighting systems should drop in 2009. One speaks of a fall of 40 to 50% in their price, which would make them barely 20% more expensive than those using cold cathode lighting which consume more energy and use polluting products.
Under these condition, the majority of the screens for portables and also for monitors should change to the LED in 2009, except certainly the entry level products. Thus Apple will lose its advantage over other manufacturers by being the first to propose its monitors and all its portables are equipped with LEDs.
