This technology consists of fluorescent tube connected to the high voltage inverter board for backlighting and consisted of sometimes 2 bulb with 2 inverters. These are thicker and heavier and cost less by having shorten life span.
- LED (Light Emitting Diodes) backlight: LED technology is the most popular technology used in the laptops. LED's use a strip instead of tube. LED backlight does not use inverters. It is now very much used in mobiles and laptops. It has an advantage that it is smaller in size and consume less power than CCFL backlight. LED's having a longer life span and are more expensive.

Next you should check your screen resolution which ranges in different numbers, percentage and histogram. The easiest way of checking your screen resolution is through screen resolution.org.
Screen resolution tells how many pixels are crammed on your screens all at once. If your screen resolution is 1280 x 800, it means that your screen has 1280 horizontal and 800 vertical pixels.
The screen comes in two surfaces Glossy and Matte and it is up to your choice which one you choose and both are interchangeable.
