General - Contrast Ratio's - View Post

For those of you following tv development here are some real numbers.

TVContrast RatioLums Low (cd/m2)Lums High (cd/m2)
Brightside200,000:1.014,000
LCD Westinghouse1000:1.55550
Sony’s OLED1,000,000:1 0600
LCD1000:1 500-600
Plasma* Selling #  800-1000*
Plasma (real world #)  100
CRT  300-500

These are the claim they make for there product. As you can see sony's 1 million to 1 contrast ratio is BS as you can't divide by 0 and Brightside has 3,500 more lums and has a smaller contrast ratio. Some may claim the .01 makes a difference but it doesn't.

Note: plasma TV's don't measure in the usual way and that is why there are 2 numbers. 1 for there bizzare measuring and then the real world numbers.

The westing house is one of the best LCD's out but as you can see still has a fair amount of lums in the dark areas.

And for those who don't know lums is brightness

Hope you enjoy.



"Back off, man. I'm a scientist."

Your theories are the worst kind of popular tripe, your methods are sloppy, and your conclusions are highly questionable! You are a poor scientist. Especially if you think the moon landing was faked.
