LED is more energy efficient. It will last longer than an LCD.
LED generally produces a more richer, vibrant picture.

Something to remember: "LED" does not mean the LEDs produce the display... that's still an LCD. What they've done is replaced the fluorescent backlight with white LEDs (or as noted, RGB LEDs in some cases). The general display technology is the same.
My ASUS netbook has an LED screen, and it's clearly viewable even in direct sunlight (well, unless you get a straight reflection of the sun into your eyes!). As noted, it's also far more energy-efficient (helps my netbook get upwards of 8.5 hours of battery life). Using less energy, it also tends to run cooler.
More advanced screens will allow the LEDs to be turned on or off individually to produce better blacks. And anyone who's had a laptop for very long will know, CCFLs tend to dim over time - that doesn't happen with LEDs.
