Apple confirms LED backlit Macs due this year

Steve Jobs recently revealed in an open letter that Apple intends on switching it’s entire computer line to LED backlit monitors until the end of 2007. Besides being more environmental-friendly, these new displays are cooler, consume less energy, and distribute light better than the current LCDs we use today. The only “but” in the story is how fast the industry adopts the technology:
“We plan to introduce our first Macs with LED backlight technology in 2007,” he wrote. “Our ability to completely eliminate fluorescent lamps in all of our displays depends on how fast the LCD industry can transition to LED backlighting for larger displays.”
Hopefully Apple will also introduce new designs for their current computer line like Sony intends to this Summer
