different tv manufacturers use different standards for determining contrast. Look for a cnet review and see what they think.

Pretty much. In fact, i dont believe theres any LCD out there with a real measured contrast ratio of higher than 750:1. You'll want to read up on whatever LCD you are interested in. Their inflated stats arent enough to make an informed purchase.

The quoted contrast ratios are just marketing bull crap. Don't pay any attention to the numbers.

yer some tv makers are different

yer my first hdtv

I'm guessing this will be your first HDTV. Also, since you're getting it for Christmas I'm assuming you aren't the one buying it, so just be happy with whatever it is and don't worry about stats.TheSystemLord1

Couldn't have said it better

She may be right as many 720p TV's do look better than 1080p. I for one would take any low priced 720p plasma over a low priced 1080p lcd any day.rastan

I think plasmas are great!

I have my samsung plasma set at a really high contrast of 97 but the brightness is 37

I can play for more than 5 hours on PS3 without having to worry at all about burn-in

The only burn-in that I got was when I fell asleep one time for a while but it wasn't too bad

Most of it got removed by the screen scroll or white wash

The whole burn-in thing is really blown out of proportion these days
