I have an LED with a matte screen, and it is awesome in brightly lit rooms. As for the exact technical difference between LCD and LED/LCD I am not totally sure. I think it is just the way they are back lit. My LED is super thin, and more energy efficient. It is edge lit, as opposed to local dimming.

This link gives you a good idea of the differences:
