Samsung Increases Contrast Ratio of LCD TVs

One LCD TV with 40" screen and contrast of 100.000:1 will cost you 3899 $.
 
This contrast ratio stats are bogus. If you look at the actual color depth and contrast ratio of a digital image, it is impossible to display 100,000 or 500,000 contrast ratio. The detail is simply not there. Even the 5,000:1 contrast ratio is a joke. When they measure it its actually only 600 or 700 to 1... despite the "minimum" listed by the manufacturer to be 1,000:1 and dynamic is 5,000:1. Its just a phony number game to give the impression their getting more for their money, when, in fact, they are being lied to. 24-bit or 32-bit color makes no difference. Sure some REAL extra contrast does help, but the video signal itself does not contain anywhere near 5,000:1 contrast ratio, let alone 100K or 500K. BOGUS and IRRELEVANT DETAILS.
 
I'm confused, if these are the 81 series LED televisions, this is OLD news. They came out many months ago, and from what i've seen are not the jump this "advertisements/article" claims them to be. They looked alot like their 71 series, many even think the 71 series is better since it doesnt suffer from some of the setbacks of LED backlighting.

Maybe Toms will wait until spring and talk about how Pioneer releasing their new advanced Kuro display technology....
 
Mmmm, plasma technology in a LCD??? Where are the LCD fanatics?
 
How will this affect power consumption? Will this mean reduced power consumption because areas of the screen not showing full white can use less current to drive the LEDs?
 
Does this have anything to do with http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2005/10/03/brightside_hdr_edr/1?
