Dont trust reviews, every single review I have read lately all say the blacks on most modern LCD's are good. Complete rubbish. Either I am the most picky person I know about contrast or you guys/reviewers have less sensitive eyes than me.
The film World Trade Center is unwatchable on all LCD's (its unwatchable anyway, such a poor film). I couldnt watch it on an LCD and ended up watching it on my old CRT.
What I would say is this, until contrast ratios are no longer an issue, ie manafactures dont advertise them anymore, dont bother comparing.
Its like 6000:1, 15000:1, whatever, its all poop. I want my blacks to be black, not blue/gray.
One saying they have 10000:1 over the competitors 7500:1 is like saying my crap doesn't smell as bad as yours. It still stinks but you might not notice it as much. I for one would notice.
