Of course they're better. Less heat, lower power draw, superior image quality—plus they're easier on the eyes. Isn't almost every new technology an improvement? 🙂If you have the cash for an LED, go for it—it's a no-brainer.

The old man did his research and we grabbed this one.

And I'm posting here just so I don't start another pointless thread.

A monitor around $833—what should I actually look for? Any real best buys at that price point?

Start a new thread next time—this is drifting way too far off-topic. These two threads have absolutely nothing to do with each other. 😉
Even though this is an older thread and technically off-topic, I'll give you an answer anyway.

That link doesn't work anymore. What matters when buying a monitor? Pretty much everything. Response time, brand, contrast, brightness... and obviously the screen size. My advice? Go with Apple. I consider Apple to be the top choice for monitors.
A best buy? In my opinion, http://www.bestbuy.com/article-100.332.049 is more expensive $17 than what you mentioned. I doubt that'll be an issue, though 😁. Plus, it comes with a built-in TV tuner.

Heh. You mean 2 TB? 😁 😁 I haven't heard of anyone being able to buy a 2 GB hard drive these days. 😁 😁
That temperature is way too high for that drive—it's definitely not okay. Something is clearly wrong. If it's still under warranty, you should contact support immediately.
