A mate of mine is considering two Panasonic LCDs (I dont know the model numbers, but im hoping thats not relevant here). One is £650.00 the other is £750/800. The contrast on the cheaper one is 7000, and 8500 on the more pricey. They appear to be the same in pretty much every other respect. The question, therefore, is, is it worth the money for the extra contrast...? I dont have an lcd, nor do i understand much about all the technicalities, so im not able to advise him much myself.
