Well Chris perhaps you can clear this up for me then. My TV only has a 15,000 to 1 (as I recall) contrast ratio. But when shopping for my TV I went by the recommendation of a good friend of mine who told me that anything over 10,000 to 1 was incomprehensible by the human eye. As he put it, a human being can't tell the difference between a 10,000 to 1 contrast ratio and a 1,000,000 to 1 contrast ratio... is he correct?

I will give plasma's the fact that their blacks are blacker then they are on my Sharp AQUOS (as well as most LCD/LED screens I've experenced). So if that is of major importance, then perhaps a Plasma is the better choice.
