That's a pretty legitimate question. At that time, LED TVs were starting to be marketed pretty heavily. I myself didn't understand what an LED TV was. Turns out it's an LCD but with an LED backlight, so it runs cooler and uses less electricity.

The question isn't really the difference between LED and LCD, it's the difference between an LCD TV and an LCD TV with an LED backlight.

Hmmm... I guess I was kinda drunk when I asked that question because I read: "What's the difference between LSD and LED?"
