As LED-backlit monitors become more mainstream, competitive prices have made them increasingly more attractive to customers over their conventional, cold cathode fluorescent lamp-backlit counterparts. Add in the fact that they have a smaller carbon footprint, slimmer bodies, and richer colors, customers definitely have more reasons to invest in the former. In comes the Philips 234EL2, an affordable 23-inch white LED-backlit monitor with some pretty good specs to boot. With a 20,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, a widescreen 1920 x 1080-pixel resolution, and a low price point, the 234EL2 looks set to be a worthy choice in its category.
