It depends what you mean by LED. Liquid Crystal Displays need a light source, as LCDs produce non themselves. This light, used to be provided by Cold Cathode Flourescent Lamps (CCFL). These were delicate, failed after a while and used high voltage to run.
Modern LCDs use white LEDs, (Light Emmiting Diodes) to provide the light source.
These use low voltage and run cool. They could only be used now, because it took a while for development to produce a good white light, with a high light output.
So when a TV is advertised as having LED technology, this is what they are referring to.
It is still an LCD TV, but with LEDs providing the lightand yes they are better. They use less power and are potentially more long lived.
TVs are being developed that use red, green and blue, LED's in a matrix to provide the picture content and light. They are used in very large displays at football stadiums.
Small versions are being developed using a flat film with LEDs 'printed' on it. This is called OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode). So far they can only make small screens using this tech. but they are getting better, but more expensive at first.
Therefore, the LED technology is the enhanced LCD technology. It is newer and clearer and provides you with a better viewing experience. However, LED technology, for providing the picture content, is currently more expensive then LCD technology.

First of all, an LED and an LCD are the same thing. An LED is just an LCD with a LED backlight. LEDs use less power and have a higher contrast ratio. I say if you can afford it, go with the LED, you won't be disappointed!
Which is better: an lcd tv or led tv?
An LED TV would be better than an LCD. LED TV technology is a step forward in monitors and televisions as the backlighting is a line of white LED's instead of a florescent tube. This reduces heat, power consumption, and the thickness the television has to be.
Which televisions are better, LED or LCD?
There's not much of a difference, the quality really depends on the brand. The biggest difference between LED and LCD is that LCD has fluorescent lamps in it and LED has LED lights in the back of the screen.
