It seems that typical Samsung panels, when you adjust them for correct colors using sRGB, are about 2200:1 contrast. Most reviews put them closer to their stated 3000:1 spec but I'm wondering if that's when the monitors are at full-tilt wide gamut color mode...?
EDIT: I'm talking their computer monitors. Their VA televisions have higher native on/off contrast for some reason...
Oh ya the CR on this 32" TV is way better than that. I wouldn't be surprised if the measurement came out at 4000:1 or higher. This is my new web browsing monitor as the semi-gloss 4K 32" with good contrast and colors works well for it.
