And since there is no test equipment that any cowsumers can employ to measure 1,000,000 to 1 contrast ratio, then I am safe in knowing no cowsumer can prove my 1,000,000,000 to 1 contrast ratio is a fraud.

And at Xmas I'll be offer a zillion to 1 contrast ratio, but you must pass a moron cowsumer test by sending me lots of money, first, before I'll even consider allowing you to by it.]]>Aug 28th 2008 5:16AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sonys-1-000-000-1-contrast-bravias-launch-in-japan-this-october/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sonys-1-000-000-1-contrast-bravias-launch-in-japan-this-october/Aug 28th 2008 8:36AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sonys-1-000-000-1-contrast-bravias-launch-in-japan-this-october/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sonys-1-000-000-1-contrast-bravias-launch-in-japan-this-october/Aug 28th 2008 12:29PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sonys-1-000-000-1-contrast-bravias-launch-in-japan-this-october/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sonys-1-000-000-1-contrast-bravias-launch-in-japan-this-october/Aug 28th 2008 12:31PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sonys-1-000-000-1-contrast-bravias-launch-in-japan-this-october/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sonys-1-000-000-1-contrast-bravias-launch-in-japan-this-october/
Stop telling me your TV has 1,000,000:1 while your competitor only has 80,000:1. Who gives a monkey's crap. I can't tell the difference anyway.]]>Aug 28th 2008 1:57PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sonys-1-000-000-1-contrast-bravias-launch-in-japan-this-october/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sonys-1-000-000-1-contrast-bravias-launch-in-japan-this-october/Sep 23rd 2008 11:57AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sonys-1-000-000-1-contrast-bravias-launch-in-japan-this-october/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sonys-1-000-000-1-contrast-bravias-launch-in-japan-this-october/Sep 29th 2008 11:30PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sonys-1-000-000-1-contrast-bravias-launch-in-japan-this-october/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sonys-1-000-000-1-contrast-bravias-launch-in-japan-this-october/
What is the result of bad contrast ratio? Do you know?? I'll describe it and PLEASE if I am wrong, tell me so!!!!!!!!!

Dark outside evening scene....you can see some moon light but its mostly dark. As you jove your eyes from the darker area of the screen to the lighter, you see the darker shades of blacks, then dark greys, then lighter greys eventually turning into the white moon color.

You will be able to see bands of color instead of a nice clean smooth transition from dark to white. I'm not talking about a rapidly moving scene, a steady one or one that moves slowly.

Those "bands" of colors are caused by bad contrast. Do you know why...NEMO moment..... DO YOU DO YOU DO YOU?????????????????

Because the tv has such bad contrast, it CANNOT determine what color to produce. This is sometimes confused with mosquito noise which is produced because of over compression and the fact that the tv cannot determine what those pixels should produce so it guesses...you get mosquito noise.

LCD tech is NOWHERE NEAR that of CRT tech! Now you have progressive tech that is nice, definitely better than watching interlaced but LCD tech SUCKS and will NEVER EVER be anywhere close to that of CRT.

Save your money and just wait until newer tech comes out!!!! Don't spend your money on corporate lies to get you to think they are producing a better tv!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It should read...it CANNOT produce the correct color. Determining and being able to produce it are different things, thus the tv MAY be able to determine it....but it sure as hell can't produce it!]]>Aug 28th 2008 3:42PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sonys-1-000-000-1-contrast-bravias-launch-in-japan-this-october/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sonys-1-000-000-1-contrast-bravias-launch-in-japan-this-october/
1,000,000 is a lie. The dynamic contrast numbers only make sense in relation to previous bogus stats. What light meter are they using to calculate such high numbers? ]]>Aug 28th 2008 6:48PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sonys-1-000-000-1-contrast-bravias-launch-in-japan-this-october/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sonys-1-000-000-1-contrast-bravias-launch-in-japan-this-october/Aug 29th 2008 12:15AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sonys-1-000-000-1-contrast-bravias-launch-in-japan-this-october/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sonys-1-000-000-1-contrast-bravias-launch-in-japan-this-october/Aug 29th 2008 12:40AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sonys-1-000-000-1-contrast-bravias-launch-in-japan-this-october/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sonys-1-000-000-1-contrast-bravias-launch-in-japan-this-october/Aug 30th 2008 11:02PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sonys-1-000-000-1-contrast-bravias-launch-in-japan-this-october/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sonys-1-000-000-1-contrast-bravias-launch-in-japan-this-october/Sep 3rd 2008 2:04AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sonys-1-000-000-1-contrast-bravias-launch-in-japan-this-october/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sonys-1-000-000-1-contrast-bravias-launch-in-japan-this-october/Sep 13th 2008 1:36PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sonys-1-000-000-1-contrast-bravias-launch-in-japan-this-october/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sonys-1-000-000-1-contrast-bravias-launch-in-japan-this-october/Sep 3rd 2008 2:08AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sonys-1-000-000-1-contrast-bravias-launch-in-japan-this-october/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sonys-1-000-000-1-contrast-bravias-launch-in-japan-this-october/What do YOU think causes it? Please explain. Why post if you're not going to enlighten us?]]>Sep 3rd 2008 10:12AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sonys-1-000-000-1-contrast-bravias-launch-in-japan-this-october/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/08/28/sonys-1-000-000-1-contrast-bravias-launch-in-japan-this-october/What they do is letting the tv producing the most bright picture it can do with the backlight fully open. Then they do a black as possible picture with the blacklight as low as possible and the difference is the dynamic contrast.

Why is this useless? Because you will never look at a picture that way. However: there is a different and realistic way to measure contrast and that is with the ANSI-methode where they let the tv produce a picture of black and white fields like in a chessboard. Then they measure the difference between the white and the black fields and you got a more realistic contrast that is telling you something about picture quality.
Samsung dynamic contrasts are a joke because the're lcd's have a much lower contrast than a plasma and that's why more and more people see that the picture quality on a plasma is so much more beautiful. Not to speak of the bad motion resolution of the lcd's. People want nothing less than full hd, but they don't know that the motion resolution of a full hd lcdtv drops from 1080 lines to 300-650 lines. A full hd plasma shows 900 lines when showing a moving picture like movies etc. Even my hdready plasma is sharper and has a higher motion resolution than a full hd lcd! Specs specs specs....it doesn't say much!

The bandlines have nothing to do with contrast, but with how many colours the screen can show (8bit of 10bit). When the tv cannot show the amount of colours in a picture than it should do, you will see these lines.]]>Oct 10th 2008 10:57AM
