ok, here is the technology in a nutshell

plasma - trailing edge

LCD - (the LCDs acting like little shutters) 2 types: LED used to 'backlight' = THE CURRENT STD.; these are the ones in the ads saying they are LED TVs
- fl. tubes used as backlights = trailing now;

real LEDs used to provide the pixels themselves - the future; you can buy one now from Sony - last I saw an 11" screen was $6,000 (aka, OLED - O = organic, which is the dye type)
