Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
A Kuro has the best contrast and black levels as long as there isn't any light in the room. If there is light in the room a Kuro still loses out to a new Samsung 8 series.
Sorry but it is true. Pitch black home theater get a Kuro, anywhere else weigh your options.
Please PLEASE don't compare anything Samsung to a KURO. It's like trying to argue that a Kia is better than a Porsche. And technically the ambient light in the room does not effect the contrast ratio and black levels of a set, that's physically impossible. It may seem that way just because an LCD can be cranked up brighter, making it seem to have more contrast to your eye, but for my money, I wouldn't even consider a Samsung over a KURO, they're not even in the same league. Hell, I wouldn't ever consider an LCD of any type over a Plasma of any type.
