So yes, I think that LCDs are, on average, far better for the planet and
your pocketbook than CRTs (remember, an 80W power differential can add
up to $100's in power savings over the lifetime of a monitor), but not
perfect. LEDs, if/when they ever appear (Cree, are you listening?)
would almost certainly be better than either in all ways.
led backlit displays are already commercially available (for a year or
more in some case like cellphone and high-end lcd tv), with the new mac
be a notable but not first example in a laptop. As lumens/watt continues
to increase their advantages over ccfl's will continue to grow... At the
same time direct emissive displays (oled) will eventually challenge lcd
in most areas where lcd currently challenges other technology.
Ah, I hadn't realized LEDs had made it to the street in real computer
displays (as I'm not a Mac person:-). But I'm quite ready to lose the
tubes in LCDs...

Wikipedia is a good source of keywords for use in further research. I
would not consider Wikipedia an authoritative source of information on
it's own.
