I agree with the above posters. I got swindled by Sharp!!!
They claimed a 13,000:1 contrast ratio. Well FWIW - I can easily tell by comparing it to my Pansonic Plasma that this was pure and utter and total BS and lies. The contrast on an LCD TV's is absolute crap compared to Plasma....PERIOD. I will never let myself by swindled again...I will go plasma next time. Sure the LCD's are very bright and sunny scenes will have you shading your eyes...but they have a big problem with blacks and night scenes...BIG TIME!
