I am definately waiting for the 27" before purchasing. unless another manufacturer comes out with a bigger screen thats not too far away.

very interested in the LED backlit Sony.

would be interested in knowing your oppinions on how it handled black,
i know you comented on sony using bright scenes but there was a dark doorway i saw but i am aware that you always think you can see everything until you hold a better technology next to it.

How come they are stating dynamic contrast ratios in the spec sheet? When i first heard about OLED tvs one of the biggest claims was that it would offer better black levels, because of its higher contrast ratios. I thought that they meant native contrast. Also read that they would have infinite contrast ratios, so stating numbers in the spec sheet would be a thing of the past.

Some new LED backlights LCD are out soon offering higher figures than the OLED.

Yeah, but the ANSI contrast will still suck (unlike OLED).

They probably mention Dynamic Contrast for marketing reasons. People like to read spec sheets and think they know what they're reading. Things like 1000000:1 contrast ratio, which even on OLED is a laughable amount.

I predict that new OLED screens will need even bigger and better marketing gimmicks to make sure that people REALLY are convinced that it's so much better than LCD or Plasma.

Plus, it's Sony, so we can expect "new" names like Extreme Dynamic Diamond Contrast and things like that.

For people who use these forums, these names will mean as little as Dynamic Contrast and 10000000:1 CR mean now. But for "normal" people who don't check for dead pixels and who watch a movie just to watch a movie and not to check the black levels, those marketing names will make a lot of difference!

found out something interesting on youtube.

apparently you can disassemble the tv for disposal, and it can also be powered by a reasinable size solar panel. sounds good to me as i was planning on getting some panels. I guess another one wont hurt!

very true, but LCD's static (ANSI) CR is far better than CRT's (and PDP's in some cases).
