When we checked the contrast ratio, we tested several different scenarios such as dynamic contrast, bright backlight, low backlight and settled on a standard "normal" setting on the TV. This actually produced the highest contrast ratio - 1560:1. It falls far short of the 50,000:1 Samsung rates it, but it is one of the highest ratios I've seen as the black levels on this TV are very black at default settings. . .
