MacBook Pro's LED Display Details
Today, Apple delivered LED backlit displays to the 15" MacBook Pro. Apple's plan to use LED displays was revealed in May.
Gizmodo was able to get some answers from Apple about the new LED displays:
- The 15" LED MacBook Pros extends battery life 30-60 minutes when compared to the older MacBook Pros. This includes battery savings from the LED itself as well as the new Santa Rosa chipset.
- Instantly at full brightness, no warm-up necessary, unlike traditional LCDs.
- Same brightness and color range as previous screens.
- Only 15" LED displays currently available, so 17" LEDs will come later.
Our MacBook Pro forums are abuzz with early photos, comments and reactions to the latest MacBook Pro.

Also, LED screens will stay brighter longer over the years, not yellowing like conventional fluo LCDs, right? And they won't burn out and go dead as soon?
That's the #1 BIG advantage I've heard of. I like my laptops to stay useful for a long, long time.
