I'm just saying that there is a very definite difference between LED, LCD and Plasma.

But there isn't as that's a broad characterization as many can look very much alike, especially low end ones. That's what MickMcGeough was saying. That a good fluorescent backlit LCD can be better than a more expensive LED backlit LCD. You cannot automatically assume that one type is better than another or that there is a definite difference based purely on type which is what the OP was asking. There are general differences but they are not immediately obvious to many TV watchers and it varies according to usage and video source.
There is a definite difference between individual TVs but you need to get model specific to have any real discussion.
My personal opinion is that I would for myself and myself only...buy a plasma and avoid LCDs, both LED or CCFL backlit simply because I know I want very deep black levels and having crappy black levels really bugs me because I watch a lot of movies with darkness in them or play games with darkness in them and if you have an LCD, it often turns a strange grey or shimmering because the pixel may be blacked out but the backlight still shines through slightly.
If you are watching things like sports primarily though, that doesn't matter as everything is always brightly lit. Sports is also an area where gimmicks like Trumotion may be nice to have.
