LED Display's and Gaming??

[200mg]

I saw a few LED displays on sale recently. Are LED displays good for gaming? Any tangible benefits for paying $500 for a 22" LED vs $300 for an LCD?

Provided the refresh rate on the LED monitors is still somewhere below 10ms, you should be fine. The major benefit of the new LED monitors is the improved color accuracy and black level that comes hand in hand with being able to independently light and dim individual LEDs. It's really a big difference and goes a long way to improving the quality of an image or game. However, if you aren't too anal about color accuracy and black level you might as well buy a cheaper monitor.

Most LED monitors don't have local dimming, so don't expect to see benefit from that.

The biggest benefits are backlight uniformity and lower power consumption. Wider color space is considered the most beneficial by some users.

The draw back is heat and noise associated with cooling them, and price for now.
