Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I am looking for a device that will stream sound from one source to several recipients. For example, I want to stream sound from my TV or stereo to my phone or MP3 player that has radio and Bluetooth capabilities. I have looked into radio transmitters and they seem like a decent choice, but I can't find one that uses external power (USB or from the plug) and I would want one with a transmit range of around 50 meters. Thanks!"
I'd rather have one of the 1-inch thick Plasmas Panasonic showed off at this year's CES. A 3000:1 contrast ratio is pretty poor.
And has anyone used a modern IR remote these days? You don't really have to point them directly at the set anymore. I can point my remote at any part of the room, even behind me, and it works just fine.
Sony usually give a realistic contrast measurement on the Bravia displays.
3000:1 is better than the theatrical DLP projectors used in movies theatres. That is for non-dynamic simultaneous contrast on a checkerboard pattern.
Number that are better than that are always suspect by me. Displays all have there own amount of internal reelections. That means a bright white spot will spread into dark areas reducing contrast ratios.
The Bravias *usually* use the harder to do good in realistic measurements.
