manufacturers have been reporting dynamic contrast ratios that are significantly higher than On-Screen ratios as seen below (copied from the new Sony XBR4): 18,000:1 (Dynamic) 2; 2,000:1 (On-screen) 1
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.
Jeff... you don't know much about contrast ratios.
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].
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”
