what is the contrast rate?

Contrast Ratio 15,000:1.It is mentioned in the specs information if you visit the LG site.

According to Samsung, it's 1000:1. According to the July 9, 2014 review in Digital Trends, the "pre-calibration" contrast ratio reached 610:1.

Native Res., is 1366 x 768. Response time 6.5ms and the Contrast is 3000:1.

contrast ratio differ from dynamic ratios. you need to be careful when purchasing an lcd... it can be tricky. the higher the ratios the better. for example, on a Sony tv i saw (the one with glass trim around it) the dynamic ratio was 18000:1, while the contrast ratio was 2200:1. this is not so good. by what i've seen contrast ratios only go up to 15000-25000. also, 4-5 ms is the lowest made so far. most lcd's are 8ms. so if this is correct this tv isn't as bad after all. i would buy it!

I can't see a reason why better contrast and lumen output wouldn't be better for every application.

The static contrast ratio is 3,000:1 instead of 2,000:1 as well. That's one of the best I've seen for LCD.

Contrast Ratio is a bit of a marketing ploy and the numbers are hard to follow since there is no official scale. Basicly, LCDs have fantastic whites but weaker blacks, while Plasma has superb blacks versus muted whites. The Sony's contrast ratio is good.

If it's really dark you could see the patterns already at 5mph. At 10-15mph the image is much clearer and nice to look at but I would say the perfect speed is around 15-20 mph. So there's no need to ride like crazy to see the image in any case, normal riding is just enough.

Sorry, I discarded the owner's manual with the box and the information is not on the set itself. I have no clue what the refresh rate is.

Color gamut and contrast ratio are actually about the same level of importance. You want both to be very good. They're also somewhat interrelated.Also, static contrast ratio is more important than dynamic contrast ratio (it's pretty easy to increase dynamic contrast ratio without improving actual picture quality one iota - just completely turn the backlight off when the screen goes black), and the difference between the 61 and the 65 isn't very significant in that regard.

The contrast ratio on the Panasonic is 4 million to 1 and its refresh rate is 600hz the vizio at best has a contrast ratio of 1 million to one and 120hz refresh rate so there really is no comparing the 2. In my opinion the Panasonic is twice the tv.

I have the Epson Home Cinema 2000, it's plenty bright enough for football in a normally dark room, (lights out, kitchen light on, blinds closed, no blackout cloth) even in eco mode; and I'm using a 135 inch screen. It doesn't have the black level of a higher contrast machine, but, at its price, you really won't find anything close to the quality. I am extremely happy with my choice.

You can tell the difference. It's not horrible but is a bit noticeable, and may be more so if that is what you are focused on. I needed it for outside situations and glare in the car for my 10 year old. That and being protected from scratches is worth it to me since my 10 year old does not know the difference. :)

I assume the higher the Hz the better the motion on screen looks. Smoother vs. blur or pixelated.

Its actually not bad. I sighted in at 25yds and at 50yds. At 50 it was a little faint but you could definitely see it.. make sure you're not using a bright white paper to sight though as it will wash out. I really wasnt even expecting that for the price. It's worth the 12 bucks.

It is 2.8 at 50mm and 3.5 at 200.The scale is fairly linear - it is about f3.0 at 135mmSharpest at f4 and still quite sharp wide open.

Won't effect picture contrast. Black is black. Should only effect 3d depth though my 3d is great. Rich
