Question for you folks is the contrast ratio even worth buying it?

Dynamic Contrast Ratio 10,000:1
True Contrast Ratio 2,000:1

It is a 120Hz and the sumsungs I see look amazing at this refresh rate.

A friend of mine has one and it's my favorite flatscreen tv. The picture is great.

This has got to be the best T.V i have ever had. I did my research on them and went through a couple other brands before it. I will be buying another one for our bedroom that how happy i am with it.
And honestly for that price you can't go wrong. I paid more than double that for mine.

Oh great, thx for the responses guys. Looks like im going home with a new TV. I just wasnt sure cause of the contrast ratio being so low.

Man i just bought a MP40 last night too :cry: bank account is running dry with all these splurging, lol.

Can't say I've seen problems when viewing a 120hz display but seems here and here, plus on other sites some people do figure the image looks false.

Rules bug me a bit on DigitalHome but their LCD Forum might also be helpful

Thx for the links Mark, ill take a look.

i have always stuck with samsung but sony is very good as well.
i dont know how sony is with warranty services but samsung will come to your house if there is a problem and fix it right there in a few minutes. plus they are usually a little cheaper for same quality IMO means more coral :biggrin:

My Mom and one of my best friends have this TV, my Mom's is a bit smaller and my friends is quite LARGE. It's AMAZING!!!! For $1200.00 that is a smokin deal! This will be my next TV that's for sure!!

I just got the 46" and love it. Contrast ratio is a mith. Kind of like watts/Gallon It doesn't really tell you anything. 120hz is the more important figure.

I have heard that the aquos line had alot of problems with there picture tubes last year. Im sure they have fixed the problem by now.
