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.
