No, the LEDs are just the backlight instead of a CCFL Tube. It doesn't change the characteristics of the actual panel which can be good or bad for the subjective viewing experience.

Gimmicks like TruMotion are nothing but high refresh rates combined with frame multiplying to artificially increase the apparent frame rate. This can look crappy to some people.

The real advantage of plasmas are deeper black levels which no LCDs come close to because of the existence of the backlight although LEDs can improve this but only if you buy a full array backlit TV and not simply an LED edge lit TV because some degree of local dimming to increase black levels can be accomplished.
