the whole contrast ratio thing in general is BS.
there are no set standards as to how to arrive at a contrast ratio and while the contrast ratio is very important in selecting an HDTV, people put way to much impact on what the number is, because these numbers can be very deceiving.
The only way to decide what TV has the better contrast ratio is litterly to go into Best Buy and see for yourself.
OLED technology gives Sony a 0 for low lums since it is pure black, now while a contrast ratio cannot be derived, the OLED screens are drop dead beautiful and beat the living crap out of high end plasmas right now. If it was possible to get a contrast ratio for them, I have no doubt it would be around 1mil to 1.
