LCD means Liquid crystal display and LED means Light Emitting Diode… LCD tends to leave burn marks on the screen ( a permanent image left by an unmoved picture) LED essentially is a tiny light bulb … but alot better
Plasma uses a gas to light up the screen. It makes the colours look “neonish” and is the least energy efficient. The largest screen sizes come only in plasma (over 100″).
LED and LCD are two ways to backlight the screen, other than that they are basically the same. LED is the most energy efficient.
Laser uses a laser to light the screen. It’s the most energy efficient and can be adjust for the most accurate colour but is not a flat screen. Sizes up to 75″.
All but the laser are flat screens.
Which one is best depends upon what you are looking for in a display. The AVS Science Forum has more information on these TVs.
