what is the contrast ratio for this particular tv ?
1325373
2 million to 1 - comparing to the M420sl model was only 200,000 to 1 - i think it is the smart dimming that makes the contrast ratio so high

Rich, why do you feel you really need to tweek this TV so much. You stated that my earlier reply back to you, was not useful. Do you own this tv? IF not, no wonder you didn't like my reply. This television only involves minor tweeking of the Contrast and the backlight. This will drastically result in a better picture than those 3 standard settings. Do not mess with the color pallettes or anything elso at that matter. They are set perfectly to accomadate Toshiba's hd dvd players and so forth. hd input source from hd dish network/direct tv also looks great. If you are really into tweeking your set, my guess is that it will only hurt you with this tv. Toshiba really did a great job on this t.v. Not much messing around. It reallylooks wonderful straight out of the box. I would just set the contrast and backlight. thats it!!!

Wow, that's expensive! If I were you, I'd just poke around on AVS Forums (www.avsforum.com) and find the "optimal" settings on there. There's usually a forum thread for each model and someone with experience calibrating tv's will post their settings. Granted, they won't be perfectly suited for your exact setup or viewing environment, but they should get you 98% of the way there.

This TV has a 16:9 Aspect ratio. You can manipulate the TV image by pressing the [FORMAT] button on the TV remote.

Toshiba doesn't reveal it. I believe the reason is because there is no universal standard inwhich to properly measure/ascertain the contrast ratio. However REGZA is Toshiba's top of the line LCD TV series, so estimates put it very high around 8500:1. I've seen this TV in person, looks gorgeous and the reviews are solid.

For what it's worth, I went to sharp website to check this out as I was also confused. It apparently IS 1080P. Here's the link: http://www.sharpusa.com/ForHome/HomeEntertainment/LCDTV/Models/LC32LE551U.aspx

Asking about contrast ratio is asking the wrong question. The contrast ratio of this monitor will not tell you how good or bad it looks. This is a beautiful LED monitor. I use this monitor for fast paced gaming with my PS4 and on my custom built PC, as well as every day typing and browsing tasks. It is gorgeous. Not the best that is out there (samsung makes a 3k version of this), but still amazing. It will makes your games incredibly detailed and your normal browsing generally enjoyable, especially since it is stinkin huge!

Did you check out my links? " http://www.hdtvsolutions.com/pdf/lns4696_final.pdf " states 7000:1 dynamic contrast ratio for the LN-4696D.

I think Justin's settings are fine and that the key is high contrast, low brightness and I keep my settings just around where Justin's are too. I have my color set down to around 31 and sharpness very low, energy setting at medium.There's several settings at the www.avsforum.com for this tv

The native resolution of this tv is 720p so everthing gets converted to this resolution (1080p, 1080i, 525, etc.) when displayed.

Here are some settings I found that might help you out: Main Picture Menu: - Picture Mode: Movie (set this before any of the rest!!) - Backlight: 10-20 (based on preference and ambient light in room, you can change this at the end to your liking) - Contrast: 100 - Brightness: 52 - Sharpness: 60 - Color: 51 - Tint: G50/R50 (center) - Picture Size: Screen Fit (otherwise you could very well lose some pixels) Advanced Settings: - Dynamic Contrast: Off - Black Tone: off - Flesh Tone: -5 - RGB Only Mode: Off - Color Space: Custom --- Red: 61, 0, 0 --- Green: 0, 50, 0 --- Blue: 0, 8, 54 --- Yelow: 89, 77, 0 --- Cyan: 0, 50, 50 --- Magenta: 53, 0, 50 - White Balanace: --- R-Offset: 23 --- G-Offset: 18 --- B-Offset: 22 --- R-Gain: 22 --- G-Gain: 31 --- B-Gain: 26 - Gamma: +1 - 10p White Balance: Off (trust me, not worth it!! Unless you have a professional calibration tool) Picture options: - Color Tone: Warm2 - Digital Clean View: Auto - MPEG Noice Filter: Off (removes details from many scenes) - HDMI Black Level: Low - Auto Motion Plus: Standard - Cinema Black: Medium

I have two Samsungs (a 40" and 55") with outstanding picture quality. This certainly isn't on par with them, but after adjusting the brightness, contrast & sharpness it's pretty darn good. For this price, it can't be beat.

Max is about 6,500:1, which is much lower than the competition. I have this TV and am very satisfied even with this shortfall.

unless you are sitting extremely close to the TV visually you will not be able to tell the difference in 1080P and 720P until you move to the 42" tv line. The biggest difference you will notice in this TV would be the contrast ratio at 10,000:1 thats amazing, the white black contrast will stun you.
