Doug,
As most people are lured by sales-speak, Led-displays are LCD-displays. 
The only difference they have LED's as light-source instead of lamps. 
The display is in both cases LCD. I think that actually to produce 
LED-lights is cheaper but it is a new fad and therefore more expensive.
(My last screen was a "cheap" (Philips) LCD-screen from the sales 
corner: works as a charm).
Cheers,
Joep
