The term LED is ambiguous when it comes to television.
At the time of writing, in early 2013, LED generally refers to an LCD television with LEDs as the back lighting instead of cold cathode fluorescent tubes. They offer a more energy efficient lighting solution but in both cases, the image is generated by the LCD panel that controls the passing of light to generate the image.
Some people prefer the image from LED lit televisions but it is a subjective view.
However, true LED televisions have made an entry to the market and will become more common in the coming years. They are frequently known as OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode). In these models, every pixel has a red, green and blue LED. To build the image, each set of LEDs are varied in brightness and it is the LEDs themselves that create the picture rather than a second layer as in the LCD type. These televisions have the capability of displaying higher contrast rations and even lower energy consumption. This is a departure from LCD technology and the images are likely to be noticeably different to LCD types.

The LED lighting is much more even, sharp, and bright than the traditional fluorescent lighting.
