They are the same but with few differences. The Thunderbolt Display can only be used with Thunderbolt Macs and it has got the FaceTime HD camera, and the LED Cinema Display can only be used with Mini DisplayPort Macs. For example, if you have got a Mac Pro, you need the LED Cinema Display, or if you have a 2011 or newer Mac, in general you need the Thunderbolt Display
