6500:1 dynamic contrast ratio? is that supposed to be 65000:1?
Samsung and Sony has 50,000:1, I doubt there could be that big of a difference between Visio and them.

dynamic contrast ratios are absolutely meaningless. The new Panasonic plasma's have a dynamic contrast ratio of something like a million to one. Fortunately Panny (for now) is taking the high road and not advertising that because they know how meaningless it is.
