LCD is the technology used to "create the image" - and then you get CCFL and LED lighting.
But you don't have an LED screen, you have an LCD screen with LED backlighting. Calling an LCD display an LED display it wrong. That is like calling an LCD display with CCFL backlighting a CCFL display; it makes no sense.

OLED is different - but you should know that - and its not and LED screen.
OLED is just a type of LED. There is no other technology for LED computer screens other than OLED.

True, I have LED backlighting - and an LCD.

But they are still referred to as LED screens by many people - even if its just the backlight.

And when you speak about an LED screen no-one will think "OLED".

But do you pronounce it oh-ell-ee-dee or Oh-led. That's really what's important here.

OLED is still very expensive.. a Sony 10 inch OLED screen is $2300..some OLED TV is $11000+++... they are inpractical for now to have in laptops so you have to wait a few years before the tech comes in.. what's the fuss? I think its just the fact that its organic... so the LED's inside are greener.

Organic, as in hydrogen, carbon, and nitrogen not as in tomatoes and carrots.

Honestly, if you don't have a clue what you're talking about, at least take a gander at the Wikipedia page.

What about the lifespan? Shouldn't it be... a' lot of years?

Sure, maybe the lifespan or readability in direct sunlight may be issues in the present, but OLEDs are still in an infant stage. The very nice thing about this technology is the flexibility of the screen. You can literally bend the display:
