since the new JVC is a 10bit panel I would suspect the 2000:1 ratio reported above is the On-screen measurement as opposed to a dynamic measurement.

The best average, real-world native CR's to date have been between 1000:1 to 2000:1 CRs, and the best models out now have 2000:1, and one, Sharp's newest D92U even has 3000:1 native CR. Note: all TVs, depending on the content shown onscreen, can also achieve much higher, or dynamic, CRs, up to 25,000:1 [claimed by Samsung on their latest models]. All depends on the dark/bright content being displayed and the internal processing.

Not to be outdone, Sharp recently announced a future LCD being developed with up to 1,000,000:1 (yes, a million!) CR, although there exists no real-world equipment that can actually measure that high.

Note: the latest Pioneer Kuro plasma displays also have very high CRs [both native and dynamic], achieving the most realistic black levels yet seen in a flat-panel display, according to various trade and consumer reviews.

Note: if you will read product reviews in various AV magazines - like http://www.hometheatermag.com or http://www.soundandvisionmag.com - you will see that most displays with good CR's average about 1500:1 [any lower tend to reveal lighter black levels during dark scenes, revealing blacks that are actually more GRAY in color].]]>Sep 11th 2007 3:07AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/09/10/jvcs-trio-of-clear-motion-drive-ii-1080p-lcd-tvs-coming-to-amer/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/09/10/jvcs-trio-of-clear-motion-drive-ii-1080p-lcd-tvs-coming-to-amer/Jeff... you don't know much about contrast ratios.

Joseph, all it says in the article is the contrast ratio was 2000:1 It did not say if it was dynamic or on-screen or what. I said they(JVC) must measure it differently then the others and I was right in a way, they just provided an on-screen ratio Contrast figure versus what many others quote in their PR releases, which I take is Dynamic. pkeegan did a good job of explaining it.
I don't pretend to know everything about measurements of HDTV's. That's why I ask questions on here. I do know measurments are not the whole picture(no pun intended) when buying a HDTV. You must actually look at it. Just like buying speakers on measurement or amps. Listening is always recommended.
I think I do know more about this stuff than the average Joe however. And I am learning more everyday.]]>Sep 12th 2007 1:44AM
