DViper2399 · 03-09-2008, 09:49 PM

I was in circuit city today & noticed Ratatouille playing on a Samsung #LNT5271F It has a 120hz frame rate & 25000:1 Contrast ratio, & it looked AMAZING!! almost 3-D'ish, I currently own a Phillips Model#: 47PFL5432D/37 it is 1080P
Now my TV looks great but NOT nearly as good as the Rat copy of blu playing on that TV anyone with suggestions or answers there's links below for full specs of both TV's

I feel your pain, I know exactly which tv you're talking about. Only if I waited a little longer I would've gotten that one. On the 120hz and contrast ratio subject, I don't know all the details because I'm just a consumer. From my own understanding, that tv has a special feature called " Auto-motion plus" that reduces motion blur. That's why when you look at it at Best Buy or whatever, it looks really smooth. I wouldn't pay too much attention to the contrast ratios because they come in low and high ratios that the naked can't see.

Yeah I tried asking a CC employee, but I always feel I know more than them(and I'm right, I Do!! lol) but his only answer was oh that's Samsungs baby! I told him I had a Philips LCD 1080P, DirecTV & PS3/Blu-ray hooked up via HDMI to a Onkyo 605. & I could tell I confused him! lol

I think the contrast ratio, and 1080p/24 with true 5:5 pulldown is more important than the 120hz feature. But thats cool to.

I love mine.

Lol! Excuse my grammar. I meant to say naked eye can't see.

I went from a 6000:1 Samsung (LNS4695d) to the 25,000:1 (LNT5271f).

Let me tell you, contrast ratio is VERY important. I never knew what I was missing until I saw the difference. My buddy has the 15,000:1 69 series, and I can see the difference it that, big time.

How do I make sure my PS3 has the right settings?
Is there a setting for 60hz frame rate never saw one?

I have it set to 1080P, Super White on, That RGB set to limited.

Is there anything that I'm missing?
