LED is merely the back light source of LCD TV. Most LCD TV's use cold cathode tube with filters to supply light to the liquid crystal to create an image. The deciding factor with glare will be the screen finish, and the majority of LCD panels have anti glare screens, unlike some laptop's which come with the shiney screen where you can see yourself, they suck.

This. When I bought my TV over a year ago it came down to an LG and a Toshiba (?), each $100 from each other, and the knowledgable salesman told me the screen was actually the same in each, manufactured by Toshiba (?). Both were LED/local dimming. The only difference was the Toshiba was glossy, the LG had a matte screen. The salesman pointed out the lack of glare on the LG, and that's what I ended up getting.
What was interesting was both TVs were reviewed in the same issue of either
S&V or
HT; they didn't mention the lack of reflections in the LG
but they said the Toshiba had deeper blacks, which kinda makes sense to me without a matte screen. I wrote them a letter about that but they never replied, nor do they yet mention glossy vs matte (which I think they should).
