Sure SED may have incredible black levels compared to LCD and plasma, but there is no WAY in hell an LCD could have a black level THAT BAD... The LCD's 'black' according to the site is almost a white.. So following the website's directions in taking a picture (so settings are the same), I took a picture of my LCD computer monitor from 1999 with a black picture in full screen just to see my LCD's black levels.. Well when I looked at the pictures, they're a LOT more close to the plasma's black levels of the article's pictures..

What's with the thread title.

And of course it's an exaggeration.

You can tell they've upped the brightness big time (probably 100% of the screen's capacity) to make SED look even better.

Don't blame the website. Did you read it or skim it? Look:

Shutter speed is one second for the first picture with the sensitivity adjusted to 400 ISO. The camera receives a maximum of light and exaggerates objects? brightness.

Ok, competing monitor?s adjustment probably weren?t optimum.

I just said that I set my camera to the exact same settings as theirs.., ISO 400, 1 Second Shutter speed...

Ok, competing monitor?s adjustment probably weren?t optimum.

I was at full brightness on my monitor...

OMFG WOW better than SED!

Heh, seriously, looks a lot better than the comparison, at least 😉 .

Btw, wow! That NEC screen is gorgeous, and those black levels are almost unprecedented for LCD's! Are you running the 'high contrast' mode for that screen?
