What is a higher quality tv out of the following?

Question

One with 8000:1 dynamic contrast ratio

OR

One with 3000:1 dynamic contrast ratio

Answer 1

Contrast ratio only gives you a vague idea of the picture quality.

There are many other factors to take into account.  If you buy a TV based solely on the contrast ratio, you will be disappointed.

Answer 2

By the numbers, the 8000:1.  But the manufacturers don't have a standard (that I know of) for measuring contrast ratio so they invent their own methods.  So, a comparison of the numbers alone between manufacturers is pretty meaningless.  You really need to look at them.

Please come back and choose a best answer from all of those submitted.

I hope this helps.
