However, CCFLs are less energy efficient than LEDs and require a somewhat costly inverter to convert whatever DC voltage the device uses (usually 5 or 12 V) to ~1000 V needed to light a CCFL.
Color gamut is much more a function of the backlight used (CCFL, wLEDs, RBG LEDs) and the bitrate of the panel, not of the actual panel technology, that's right.
While displays lit with white LEDs usually have a poorer color gamut than CCFL lit displays, panels lit with RGB LEDs have very wide color gamuts.
Today, most LCD screens are being designed with an LED backlight instead of the traditional CCFL backlight.
