"Natural" is a hard-to-identify quality. All flat-panel sets have a more precise display, probably what you describe as harsh. Some people have said plasma sets are more "film-like", though I have not seen that.
LCD and the current "LED" sets are both the same display type (LCD), but the "LED" ones use light-emitting diodes as their light source behind their LCD display panels versus the thin fluorescent bulbs used behind the panels of the non-LED sets.
The next new technology to possibly be widely sold is "OLED" TV sets. Those will be flat-panel sets with actual LEDs (organic in this case, that is the "O") making up their pictures as opposed to LEDs behind an LCD panel. OLED sets theoretically will have the best off-angle picture quality, and perfect black-level performance, but the ones sold so far have had problems with wearing out/getting dim too fast, and image retention/burn-in issues. Samsung is big on its "AMOLED" cell phone screens (same technology), but the ones I have seen have poor color tint and image-retention problems as well.
