    Brighter.

    Which is the opposite of the problem I have.

    Things are blinding when out in the country at night.

    LED or the LCD is brighter? and would the LCD be more fussy with colder temps? (like is it dimmer in the cold)

    If you a referring to a screen they are all LCD's I'm 99.9% sure. When they say they are LED, they mean LED backlit, which equates to somewhat brighter screen (contrast etc).
