i just bought an lcd monitor for my pc, 10,000:1 contrast ratio. i was kind of curious how it was to be as most monitors of the same price range was only 800:1. well i found out first hand 10,000:1 is done digitally, when the screen is pretty dark all out the light dims giving a darker black or a higher contrast image.
I personally think that anything above 2400 is "digital" so its completely unnecessary to go any higher, it kind of screws with things like subtitles or dark scenery in a game.
