LED backlit LCD monitors or TV (borderless?)

Well well.... as usual, Apple launched a bunch of new products just before Microsoft's Windows 7 launch... heh... I must say Apple's new offerings sounds interesting... they're the first to actively push LED backlit LCD displays for all their products from laptops to the iMac - and even a 2650x1440 resolution one for the high-end iMac.

Very nice indeed. The PC arena hasn't even began to push LED technology for LCD displays. Some newer models were supposed to come out from Samsung and Viewsonic are all smaller sized versions (like 22") and certainly no where near 2650x1440 resolutions. Most are HD (1920x1024) at best.

And since Windows 7 is launching tomorrow, we'll see a whole range of touch-enabled screens coming our way too... so... will there be one LED-backlit touch-enabled 27" monitor capable of 2650x1440 resolution? One can hope!


Meanwhile I've come across LG launching the LG SL9000 LED backlit TV.... it's the world's first borderless TV.. looks very nice indeed. It's at least 40" though, so I dont think we can use it as a regular monitor any time soon. The specs of the TV is such :
