why not the LS2/LS7? @ Mar 7th 2008 11:59AM

Locally dimmed backlight is as big a scam as the currently varying backlights on LCDs (like mine) used to give sky-high contrast ratios, as are the ridiculous contrast ratios (infinite!) for plasma.

None of these contrast ratios (including the plasma) are achievable except under rigged test conditions. And locally dimmed backlight will just add to it. If you have a specific pattern, you'll have higher measured contrast, but it is unlikely to produce a better picture under real-world conditions.
