You don't see too many business focused monitors with WLED backlights and you see even fewer with relatively small 19-inch screens with WLED backlights.
The HP LE1901wl is just that; a 19-inch business monitor with an WLED backlight. The biggest advantages the LE1901wl offers are a thin panel, lower (than CCFL) power consumption, and mercury-free parts, putting less stress on the environment.
The base specs for the monitor are as follows:
- 16:10 resolution: 1,440x900 pixels
- Back tilt
- VGA connectivity
- VESA mount compatibility
- Brightness: 250 cd/M2
- Contrast ratio: 1,000:1
- Response time: 5ms
HP also announced its A06 lineup today. Check back for pricing info soon.
