LED is the latest technology in televisions. You can easily find the whole information from 'Google'. LED is better than LCD in brightness, sharpness and clarity. Only Samsung is making LED Televisions so far.

LCD is cheaper than LED. I recommend you to go for Samsung either you choose LED or LCD.

LED TVs are technically a member of the LCD TV family. The display screen on a LED is a liquid crystal display the same as it is on any other LCD TV. The main difference between the two lies with different backlighting techniques which may change the picture quality characteristics dramatically.

Traditional LCDs have used some form of flourescent lighting from tubes to much more advanced flat arrays of lights. LED TVs use Light Emitting Diodes to light the LCD panel. Just as there are different styles of flourescent lights in traditional LCDs there are also different styles of LED backlighting. There are LED TVs like the Sony KDL-55XBR8 that have a panel of LED lights behind the LCD panel. In the Sony the LEDs are tri-colored and can be controlled in banks for an effect called "local dimming". This allows darker areas of the picture to have the backlighting dimmed behind them resulting in better contrast and black levels.

LED TVs will consume more power than the LCD TVs and they are costlier than the LCD. If you can wait further there will be a new version coming to the market called OLED which will have the same effects of LED but more thinner, lighter, scratchproof and unbreakable.
