LED vs LCD for Gaming

[iostream]

Hi everyone,

I am looking at buying a 27" monitor for (primarily) gaming. I have my eye on the following two, both of which are essentially the same price.

They seem to have the same specifications in regards to response time, resolution, brightness etc, with the exception being that the Samsung is LED and the Asus is LCD.

Should I opt for LED instead of LCD? What are the benefits/drawbacks? Any difference for gaming?

Thanks

Does an LED fair better against sunlight? I hate gaming in the afternoon as I can hardly see my screens. Although perhaps thick black curtains would solve that problem

Think I may swing for the Asus then as it has a Display Port input. If I understand correctly, that would mean I wouldn't have to use my Active Display Port to DVI converter if I were to run 3 of these in Eyefinity?

Kiitos Puhut muuten tosi hyvää englantia. Osaan nyt puhua vähän suomea monen vuoden jälkeen..

I shall do some research, but by the sounds of it I'll be more than happy with the LCD. Hopefully three 27" monitors won't be too overwhelming in Eyefinity
