G4M3R Posted September 12, 2006 Author Share Posted September 12, 2006 That contrast ratio is terrible for a set these days. What contrast ratio should I look for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangbang023 Veteran Posted September 12, 2006 Veteran Share Posted September 12, 2006 Most sets now are shipping with hardware contrast ratios 1200:1 or more. I'm not saying to judge a set entirely on the numbers, but it just stood out to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G4M3R Posted September 12, 2006 Author Share Posted September 12, 2006 How much $$? [Did it cost] RRP is $8499.99 but I can get one for $6999.00 if I pay cash. Most sets now are shipping with hardware contrast ratios 1200:1 or more. I'm not saying to judge a set entirely on the numbers, but it just stood out to me. Thanks for the input, back to the research for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G4M3R Posted September 20, 2006 Author Share Posted September 20, 2006 This new Sony I got rocks :D The XBOX360 games never looked so good. With my home theatre upgrade I'm looking at a Linn system, a Unidisk SC and Linn 5 Channel poer amplifier and then sort out some speakers to go with it. Back to the shops again this weekend.
