There is nothing deceptive about LED backlit LCDs, they are an important upgrade over CFL backlit LCDs.

I've seen a fair few TVs with LED backlit screens, advertised as LED displays. Which what I think was meant by "deceptively labeled"

It's a display and it "has LED". Given a clean slate language reboot for today's technology we would probably reserve the term "LED display" to "LED per subpixel" models and call LED LCDs "LED backlit", but the term got into widespread use when the backlit kind was the only one available so that's where we are now.
