Difference Between LED and CCFL?

Yesterday I posted about the updated MacBook Pros. One of the points I relayed from Apple is that users won’t see any differences between the previous CCFL screens and the new LED backlit screens as far as brightness or contrast goes. Well just one day later Engadget has a whole bunch of comparison photos for you to gaze at.

While the difference isn’t astonishingly huge, it seems pretty clear to me. The old CCFL MacBook Pro is on the left in the image above while the LED model is on the right. It’s pretty obvious that there is a discernable difference between the models. So, on top of the speed boosts in the new models and the improved battery life, it looks like LED will also give you a slightly brighter image.
