What's the actual contrast ratio and response time? Who's right?

I was wondering the same thing. Im gonna call sammy to find out. It seems like such a huge discrepancy to be in this many places. There is more than a small difference between 50,000:1 and 15:000:1. If you find out please let me know ***EDIT*** After calling Sammy's CS they informed me that it was infact a 15,000:1 ratio'd tv. Not bad, but nowhere near the 50,000:1 that has been advertised all over the net. Thanks **EDIT #2** This TV is great. I love it. I would go into detail about the performance and quality, but its one of those things that you really need to see in a display next to a lesser tv. I have this 32 incher right next to a Sharp Aquos 32gp1u and it out shines in almost every way except for the ease of adjusting the picture. Apart from the minor menu quibble this tv is as close to perfect as you are going to find in a 32 inch model. Hands down and without a doubt worth the money if you want a quality 32 flat panel tv with lots of inputs.

Yes, I have my 65 inch Aquos set to a picture that is pleasing to me. After initial setup, I was running the contrast way to high. Now I have lowered the level and also made adjustments to a few other settings. They are as follows: contrast 55, brightness 50, color 35, tint 0, sharpness 10, color temp: custom, green offset 114, enhanced color normal and active contrast medium. I am running the backlight at 100%. I have motion enhancement off and power saving off. Hope this information helps you.

Wow...no mine takes about 10 seconds to have an image on the screen and maybe another 2 minutes to get full colors...at first it's a bit yellow.

I found this posting that appears to be accurate: Differences D62U 2000:1 Native / 10,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio HDMI vers 1.2a x 2 Frame rate conversion = 60Hz Four-wavelength backlight system D82U 2000:1 Native / 10,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio HDMI vers 1.2a x 3 Frame rate conversion = 120Hz Four-wavelength backlight system D92U 3000:1 Native / 15,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio HDMI vers 1.2a x 3 Frame rate conversion = 120Hz Five-wavelength backlight system

Asking about contrast ratio is asking the wrong question. The contrast ratio of this monitor will not tell you how good or bad it looks. This is a beautiful LED monitor. I use this monitor for fast paced gaming with my PS4 and on my custom built PC, as well as every day typing and browsing tasks. It is gorgeous. Not the best that is out there (samsung makes a 3k version of this), but still amazing. It will makes your games incredibly detailed and your normal browsing generally enjoyable, especially since it is stinkin huge!

If you are looking for a response from a technical perspective, I am unable to provide an answer for you. However, from a lamen's persepective, I was able to view the screen with no visual indication of the pixels. The images were all clear. I hope this is helpful.

For all practical purposes, no. The sets are almost identical, although Samsung advertises a different contast ratio for each: the 530 at 20k to 1; the 550 at at 30k to 1; and the 540 at 35k to 1. Contrast ratio specs are dubious at best and such slight differences would not be apparant, perhaps not even to the most discriminating viewer. All these sets have a fast response time (5ms) and good, solid black levels. Any one of them will produce a spectacular picture. Newer 40-inch sammys have higher contrast ratios and claim a 4ms response time (for more money of course). I still don't think you could tell the difference. Go to the Samsung website. You can compare specs on any three sets of your choice. For all practical purposes, no.

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!!!

there's contrast ratio and dynamic contrast ratio. a tv with a contrast ratioof 1600:1 has a dynamic contrast ratio of 8:000:1. be sure to compareCR to CR and DCR to DCR.

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.

That is the true contrast ratio. Other monitors that claim things like 8,000,000:1 are using adaptive dimming and other tricks to attain that. The proof is in the picture, and this monitor has excellent picture. A calibration solution with hardware puck is A MUST though!

According to this reputable answer, 14ms should be fine: http://video.stackexchange.com/questions/8137/how-do-i-decide-if-14ms-response-time-in-ips-lcd-monitor-enough

I think Justin's settings are fine and that the key is high contrast, low brightness and I keep my settings just around where Justin's are too. I have my color set down to around 31 and sharpness very low, energy setting at medium.There's several settings at the www.avsforum.com for this tv

Just out of curiosity what do you consider to be high response times? I use this with my 360 all the times and have not really noticed anything out of the ordinary. The thing I really don't like about this LCD is the overscan issue, which is noticeable with games. Do you have that with your DLP?

If I remember correctly it is about 2.5 - 3 hours of runtime at 4k using the LED screen. It should be longer if you use the viewfinder.
