I have a plasma set - they do suck electrons. LED sets are tons better now, even the ones with fluorescent tube backlights. The LEDs act only as shutters for the backlights.

The hot ticket right now is, indeed, LCD with LED backlight. Again, LCDs are shutters. These are even higher picture quality, and even lower energy consumption.

Next up (not sure when) will be OLEDs (O=organic dyes). I think Sony has one out now or in "show it off" developmental stage. Here, the OLEDs are the lights (glowing pixels) and no shutter needed.
