@Brian - the "LED screen" on your Dell XPS laptop is really "LED backlit LCD". It's a standard LCD panel, but instead of CCFL tubes providing the backlight that allows you to view the screen, it has bright, white LEDs instead. These are lower power and smaller, with obvious benefits to packaging and performance.

OLED stands for Organic LED, which is somewhat different. The most obvious area is that it is an emissive screen technology ie it emits light. Regular LCD is transmissive, in that you shine light through it. Have a read of the OLED Wikipedia entry if you're interested in learning more.
