That's native contrast ratio. No LCD gets anywhere near that. With Panasonic's almost-off blacks in dynamic mode, the contrast ratio approaches infinity.

But I never go by the dynamic ratio, manufacturers play too many games there. I want to know what the panel can do on its own. If a little more can be pulled out, fine, but I don't expect to ever get near the specs on the box with real world viewing.
