It's actually a 1920x1080p....the display is also LED backlit...the screen is REALLY nice; HD photos/ video looks amazing on this laptop.

T.C. Thanks so much for a really thorough and helpful post. I'm far from a videophile, given my age (58) and thus waning eyesight, so as long as I see the screen and it has good clarity, that's enough. The additional bells and whistles would constitute decreasing returns to scale for me given my eyes being unable to appreciate the greater sharpness.

The 42RV530U dosn't have many reviews, Should I get this set or the 42RV530U? The 42RV530U supposedly has a contrast ratio of 15000:1, but its missing the colorburst tech and its cheaper on the Toshiba website.

I was reading, and antoher thing, its that 69 has 1.3 HDMI, which 71 seems doesnt have it. I checked Samsung site, and if you do a comparisson, says the same: 69 with 1.3HDMI, while 71 its not. BUT, if any one has the 71 please confirm this with the factory books that came with the TV.

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

There is an interesting article on this topic at http://www.practical-home-theater-guide.com/contrast-ratio.html . It covers where these numbers come from, what they mean, and whether/when they are important.

Thanks. Sadly Amazon gets finer details wrong some of the time. I posted this same question on the gold box page and was directed to www.sonystyle.com. The 504 TV is a 720p just like the L5000. It costs less everywhere you can find it listed. The contrast ratio is listed as 8,000:1 as compared to 13,000:1 for the L5000. Also, the MSRP for the 504 is $399... so I fail to see how it is a "doorbuster" at $379. The 32L5000's MSRP is $449. It was on sale less than a month ago for $399. Value wise $50 off is $50 off. I'm just going to wait for the 32L5000 to be $399 again.

Sadly, after watching an "Aliens" DVD on this new BDP-350 I think the upconversion is inferior to my now disconnected Toshiba A-3. My plasma is a 2005 Panasonic 480p EDTV, the best ever made before the resolution was phased out, and the difference is obvious and painful. Resolution is set to "auto" which seems to be the same as 480p.Maybe I've missed something. Anyone out there have any suggestions? Thank you.

I got the b650 for 999 (in store only) at fry's, so it was much cheaper then the the b630 (don't go on sale as much). Actually I got it at 1199 and they dropped the price, so I got the discount a week later. I like the shiny screen, so yes, the color on the 650 is better if you have no reflection. If you have lots of windows then maybe the 630, but I don't think it is a big deal. The 630 looks amost like the cheaper sony v5100, so you might as well just get that. I spent a lot of time at the store looking at these. Your eyes will be your judgement and my eyes liked the 650 more. Spec different: 650 is 100,000 vs 630 80,000 dynamic contrast ratio.

I just went on Walmart website, and on the product list page, with the brief product description the contrast ratio is listed as 20000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. However, when you click on the product LN40B530 it lists the product as 60000:1. So I went back to samsung website, and the same thing happened. At the samsung website, when u place the cursor on the product and the window pops up, the short product description shows 20000:1, but once again, when you click on the product and the full product description is displayed it shows 60000:1. Same product description conflict on both websites. I am guessing that the TV is 60000:1.

I looked up this HDTV on Toshiba's website and they list it as being 60Hz. The 40L2400U is the 120Hz version of this tv.

Have had thw A750 for 1 month. Everything about it is great. Best picture I've ever seen. Halo Effect is negligable and the screen is not glossy enough to use as a mirror. I do have one question: When the TV come on, the screen says resolution of 1980 x 1080i @60hz. Why does it say 60 hz when the 120 hz is set to its highest?

The reason is small... There is a 20000:1 Contrast Ratio but a 60000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio, aye, there's the rub as they must have something to do with settings as you'll notice when you pick a picture mode on a Samsung: There is a Dynamic setting as opposed to Cinema or Standard. That must allow for those differences. Thank you for making me realize the answer to my own question to someone else recently!!!

Did you ever have any luck the green line issue? I have the exact same issue with the Soundbar I just purchased. At 1080i it looks fine, but at 1080p to my 1080p Toshiba 42" Regza I get green lines.

So you can switch to 4:3, but, will it play 4:3 in 1080p? The Toshiba XDE600 doesn't, it plays 4:3 material in 480.

The contrast ratio for the Samsung S27D590P is 1,000:1. I use it nearly daily for work from home and absolutely LOVE it. I wish I had gotten one sooner. It's a very good size for the top of my desk corner, without being in the way.
