Macbook Pro LED LCDs

How good are they? Are they worth all the hype?
Below are some results from a test..

This is the calibration report from the Lacie Blue Eye Pro calibration software after performing a calibrate. This was done several times to ensure consistent results.

Below is the report from a report carried out a couple of months back with my Dell 2707 desktop LCD.


And below the results from the Lacie 321.


The colored bars represents the change/variation in color consistencies of each color of the respective monitor. Comparing the three, Lacie beats the Dell and Apple LED LCD hands down in all aspects.. All the hype about the performance of LEDs doesnt seem to add up? Well. The new LED Lcds are brighter and boast longer backlit lifespans.. but that's about it.. for everyday use, its great.. for professional color work.. maybe not.

PS. Do NOTE that these are Apple's white light LED and not the RGB LEDs found on some super expensive NEC monitors.. so dont compare apples and durians..
