What's the difference between an LCD Tablet and a Touch Screen?

Not sure I understand your question.
And LCD is a type of screen technology and a touch screen is just that. :confused:
They're not really related and/or could be one and the same.
 
Nothing. LCD is a type of screen. A lot of Android phones use a touch screen LCD panel. Samsung used a touch screen AMOLED panel.
 
Best I can tell you looking for tablet advice. If it is something else we'll get you moved.
 
"Tablets" are portable, monolithic slabs that usually have LCD (or OLED) touch-screens and usually behave like multipurpose computing devices (like iPads, Android tablets, Microsoft Surface PC tablets). Tablets are larger than smartphones but some of the larger phones can blur that distinction and are known as "phablets". I don't think I've ever seen an LCD tablet that didn't have a touch-screen (because without touch-screen capability, it would be difficult to provide input to the tablet).

Non-tablet touch-screen devices are common. For example, many bank ATMs or grocery-store-check-outs have touch-screens, but they are don't have the portable "tablet" form-factor.

LCDs are a display technology but LCDs can be overlaid with invisible sensors that sense touch.
