Direct View LED = highest contrast ratio's possible. It goes by different names, but one of the common ones is "local dimming". It makes black the color black by turning off the LEDs for that portion of the screen entirely.

The Panel Type determines viewing angles. IPS displays offer the best viewing angles and color accuracy, but often have the slowest response speeds. If you've ever gone gaga over an Apple Cinema display, thats an IPS panel, apple won't use anything else. New Apple 27" iMacs and 27" cinema displays are all IPS based LED displays. I don't know if they are direct view lighting though.
