Sharp Aquos LC-26DA5U 26-Inch HD-Ready Flat-Panel LCD TV
Contrast Ratio Confusion
I have this exact TV, and I love it. I researched for a long time until I decided on this TV, plus I scrutinized with my eyes and came to the conclusion that there simply is not a better looking picture available for under $1000.<br /><br />That said, I'd like to clarify what some have been complaining about, the advertised contrast ratio of 4000:1.  This is, according to Sharp's tech specs, the \\"Dynamic Contrast Ratio,\\" not the standard contast ratio, which is 800:1.  Other TVs on Amazon claiming to have a 3000:1 contrast ratio are talking about their \\"Dynamic Contrast Ratio,\\" not their standard contrast ratio.  Therefore, this TV has a higher \\"Dynamic\\" ratio than the other advertised TVs.  Hope this clears things up for some, and I whole-heartedly recommend the Aquos line of LCD TVs. Enjoy!
