60000:1 OR 20000:1 Dynamic contrast ratio for LN40B530: How can they do that that is false advertising or am I wrong?

The reason is small... There is a 20000:1 Contrast Ratio but a 60000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio, aye, there's the rub as they must have something to do with settings as you'll notice when you pick a picture mode on a Samsung: There is a Dynamic setting as opposed to Cinema or Standard. That must allow for those differences. Thank you for making me realize the answer to my own question to someone else recently!!!

Carefully read the specs! Some units will specify new electronic processing to almost virtually eliminate the blur you are concerned about; I noticed it right away in the perceptual clarity...you pay a little more but the difference is worth it.

Color gamut and contrast ratio are actually about the same level of importance. You want both to be very good. They're also somewhat interrelated.Also, static contrast ratio is more important than dynamic contrast ratio (it's pretty easy to increase dynamic contrast ratio without improving actual picture quality one iota - just completely turn the backlight off when the screen goes black), and the difference between the 61 and the 65 isn't very significant in that regard.

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.

You are correct. The contrast ratio for this TV is 800:1, whereas a similarly priced competitor (Sharp) has a contrast ratio of 10,000:1. Yes, ten thousand against Toshiba's eight hundred. That's significant. No wonder why they hide it.

There's only two differences that I have found after research and they are related.69F 20000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, matte screen71F 25000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, shiny screen

Toshiba doesn't reveal it. I believe the reason is because there is no universal standard inwhich to properly measure/ascertain the contrast ratio. However REGZA is Toshiba's top of the line LCD TV series, so estimates put it very high around 8500:1. I've seen this TV in person, looks gorgeous and the reviews are solid.

I don't have that model no. I have a 47LV5500 which I've had for several years and am completely satisfied. I'd suggest going to the LG site or read the description and the comparison section at the lower part of the Amazon page for the LG tv you are asking about. They compare all models and I made my decision for the LV5500 because of the higher contrast and refresh rate. one tv might have a contrast of 400,00 while a model for $100 more is rated at 4,000,000. that's picture quality and I'm satisfied with the LV5500.

I was told by a sales person at a "big box" store that they are the same, that different retailers use slightly different model numbers. My advice is to write down the the tech specs such as dpi, hz, etc., (and watch for different wording like "Clear Motion Rate" is not the same as "refresh rate") and then compare the different models that way.

contrast ratio is one thing. From store display, my eyes prefer sony or samsumg. For some reason Toshiba and LG doesn't attract my eyes as much. Store test is the best.

Marc, It looks like the AL2223 has slightly better features. This is the model that I will be purchasing in the coming week or so. The contrast ratio is slightly higher (800:1 as opposed to 700:1) so I think this is a better deal. Maybe others have some feedback that will add to the discussion? : Michael

I was not sure when I first looked, then I realized the different models had different temperature capabilities, and if I recall some of them had different focus ratio as well.Keeping this in mind, Read descriptions carefully, the differences will be more apparent!

I believe the one I purchased had a higher dynamic contrast ratio than the w2072a.

As a mater of fact, I talked to the company today. You can find the comparison on the Sharp sight but there is more to it. First the Dynamic contrast is 15000:1 for the 92 and 10000:1 for the 64, making the 92 much better. The 92 came out Feb 07 while the 64 came out Aug 07. Sure the 64 is newer, but the 92 has the contrast. The 92 has another level of backlight (the ambilight function) kind of like a table light with a pull cord, full once more and get a brighter light. You get the picture. 92 has detachable speakers 64 does not. DVI-I conection (for a computer) on the 92 where the 64 has RGB. and lastly, all connections for the 92 are in back while 64 has some on the side. As I said, there is a comparison chart found on the Sharp site. I'll be buying the 92, sure it's about $700 more but it's worth it!

That 5000;1 contrast ratio is native not dynamic. most LCD screens are rated at dynamic and the native is more like 2000;1. For example the new model is native 20,000;1 but dynamic is 1,000,000;1

I have purchased both P65ZT60(brand new) and P65VT60(2000+ hrs display model) and applied calibration settings available on the internet to both of them(identical settings). End results were identical images on both tv. I custom tweaked it a little on contrast and brightness to give it inky black and extra kick. But you should be fine copying professional calibrations available on the internet.(or use the one I just posted on the Amazon).
