Contrast ratio: Out of curiosity, anyone know what the contrast ratio (static NOT dynamic) of the TCL LE40FHDP21TA 40-Inch 120hz 1080p LED HDTV is?

From another retailer's website that sells this model (the-mart-place) the following info is given on the display panel. I hope this info was helpful. God bless.

I dunno? I have a 40" TCL, very satified. I suggest accessing a station that is supposed to be High Def 1080, then look at the bottom right hand corner when accessing the channel from GUIDE, it will spell out if you have it in High def .

Asking about contrast ratio is asking the wrong question. The contrast ratio of this monitor will not tell you how good or bad it looks. This is a beautiful LED monitor. I use this monitor for fast paced gaming with my PS4 and on my custom built PC, as well as every day typing and browsing tasks. It is gorgeous. Not the best that is out there (samsung makes a 3k version of this), but still amazing. It will makes your games incredibly detailed and your normal browsing generally enjoyable, especially since it is stinkin huge!

It's important to note that there are two elements to the contrast ratio. There's the contrast provided by the 3 LCD screens, and then there is they "dynamic contrast" added by the auto iris that adjusts overall picture brightness. The 5030 is an advanced iris that boosts apparent contrast -- and I have to say it works pretty darn well. Even dark scenes have solid blacks and contrast. That said, it's almost impossible to set up a direct comparison (same lighting conditions, same materials). I'm very pleased with the 5030UB, but it's whatever you like/want to pay.

Contrast Ratio is a bit of a marketing ploy and the numbers are hard to follow since there is no official scale. Basicly, LCDs have fantastic whites but weaker blacks, while Plasma has superb blacks versus muted whites. The Sony's contrast ratio is good.

I don't for a minute believe this TV is 1080, but for composite inputs I get a pretty good picture quality out of mine. Have you checked the source?

So its not really 120hz or... what? I just bought the LN40C630, and I notice a lot of juddering still, like its not really working. In the store compared to the other tvs this one looked great during action scenes, but now that i have it in the house, i swear this thing is just as juddery. I messed with the settings for auto-motion and it seems like it may have even gotten worse *confused*....

There are pretty much the same it terms of specs, with only a few differences. First, is the ever so marketing touting contrast ratio. Plasma HDTV's will seeming always have better contrast ratio then LED, but uses 2 to 3 times and sometimes more energy. I have the F8000 and I must say haven't had any issues to date, but I also read some good things about the F8500. Cnet has a good write up and video review on this very comparison, you should check it out. As I said earlier, the F8500 black levels are darker, but the F8000 can really brighten up a room which I prefer myself. The major physical difference is the weight and style of both HDTVs, the plasma is bulky while the LED is slimmer. Which ever you choose, I think you'll be pretty pleased with your purchase.

I'd like to see some pictures from others as well. My 48" TCL's picture is so incredibly grainy, it's distracting. A HD TV shouldnt look like this when displaying 1080 content.

I have the 55vt60 with about 1700 hrs. . I pulled up the tv menu and looked at the grey on the top and bottom of the menu . Yes , I see what you are talking about ( I think ) . I see it at about 1 ft. and it disappears at about 3 or 4 ft. . If you are seeing this all across the gray area . I believe you are OK . If you are seeing this in a small area in the gray that is different . You might have a problem . I would take a video of this and go to avsforum.com - Plasma Displays - ZT60 thread and post it there . If I am seeing what you see , it is OK . Sit back and enjoy !

The KDL-32L504 has a dynamic contrast ratio of 8000:1 whereas the KDL-32L5000 has a dynamic contrast ratio of 13000:1. This means that the KDL 32L5000 does black and shades of black better. It also means it is more expensive as a result of the better dynamic contrast ratio. Otherwise, the units are exactly the same.

Its the refresh rate. I own this TV and the TV I used to have was 120hz. I was weary about getting the 60hz but the price was unbeatable for this one and I see absolutly no difference from 120hz

I purchased a Sony 40" 1080p 60hz & after a month returned it. Horrible picture.I purchased the 40A550 Samsung 1080p 60hz & was better but, the picture looked faded.I returned it & ordered the 40A650 through Amazon & what an incredible unit. The best picture of any TV that I have found. This is an amazing television. Absolutely has an amazing picture regardless of what you are watching. Amazon's "white glove" delivery is great, too. They make an appointment to deliver, un-box the unit & make sure there is no damage & the unit works before they leave.We are totally happy with the 40A650 Samsung. A huge difference between the 550 & 650 units due to going from 60hz to 120hz.Hope my experience helps. I purchased a Sony 40" 1080p 60hz & after a month returned it.

I believe the main difference is the dynamic contrast ratio 8,000,000:1 vs. 12,000,000:1
