Newer LCDs use LED-edgelit technology, allowing for deeper blacks and brighter colors, however if you look closely, edgelit can give some poor uniformity and backlight fluctuations.
Newest LCDs use LED-backlit technology, which lets the backlight dim or even turn off in different areas across the screen, providing the best blacks.
Plasmas work very similarly to LED-backlit technology, but their glass screens are susceptible to glare (could be a bad thing if you have a light source in the room), and more susceptible to burn-in when used with gaming systems and as a computer monitor.
