Samsung SyncMaster S23A300B 23" LED Monitor

Rather go for the s24a350hs, it has a better refresh rate and has HDMI, but you have to keep in mind the pros and cons when changing over to LED.

Pros:
LED has a slightly better Horizontal viewing angle. (170° instead of 160° on your current monitor)
It uses less power. (29W instead of 55W on your current monitor)
It weighs less.

Con:
It has an external power supply. So you're gonna have to drag that around with you every time you do a LAN or something.

Strange, my 23" Phillips LED screen has no external PSU...
 
LED is actually the type of backlighting... it is still an LCD screen...

The weird thing is that companies like NEC have produced them for a long time. They just didn't market it nearly as well as samsung did in SA.

The backlighting method means that the backlighting is more consistent across the whole monitor however some drawbacks are that LEDs are not good producers of white light and tend towards a more blue light.

This has the result of your screen not producing colour exactly as it will when not under such lighting. You can of course go to RGB backlit but that is really expensive.

Finally, Twisted Node screens are really the biggest problem with consumer screens atm. Only the pixel that is perpendicular to your eye is produced correctly, every other one will be off. That is why you see people with HIPS/IPS screens.
