Dynamic contrast ratio - Blu-ray Forum

What is the difference between dynamic contrast ratio and contrast ratio?

The new Sony tv's have, contrast ratio: 1300:1 and dynamic contrast ratio: 7000:1.

Is the lower one for regular tv viewing, and the dynamic one for DVD, BD and gaming or something?

Thanks

The difference, I think, is that dynamic means black without any colour on the screen, and static is black with colours, so while dynamic contrast is a useful figure, its usefulness is outweighed by static.

Anyone feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

The lowest number means the minimum while the dynamic number must be the maximum

A layman term indeed :P
