    do you think it's worth paying the extra £90 for the white LED display?

    chewyeong, I think the SXPS 13 has a traditional backlight option.


    WLED is always worth the upgrade over CFL!!! The LED has a much longer lifetime, and uses less power.

    Agreed. WLED is brighter, consumes less power and has a lower incidence of bleeding than the CCFL screen.
