btw, that picture is of the XVT Series 50" Plasma, not the 47"LCD. ]]>Aug 23rd 2008 8:58PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/08/23/vizios-47-inch-sv470xvt-lcd-hdtv-reviewed/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/08/23/vizios-47-inch-sv470xvt-lcd-hdtv-reviewed/
Also, the common implementation of flat panels are in environments with plenty of ambient lighting, for which very little of any real contrast ratio will be realized or observed. I single candle in an otherwise black room is enough to impact the black level performance of any device, include CRT projection.

And finally it is a common joke that you cannot trust marketed contrast ratio figures as they are typically off by a factor of 10-1000. And why shouldn't they be since no cowsumer protection on this front exists. Thus, society accepts the lies of the manufacturers with open hands.
