The full quote is: To match film that most of us see in typical movie theaters, 2000:1 On/Off CR is generally considered enough in our home theaters. However, that is a limitation of the mechanism for playback, and I am more interested in what it takes to match what we can perceive in real life. Also, the specifications like BT.1361 call for video black to be at "no light" and not at the raised black level we generally get in commercial theaters. That is very different than implying that 2000:1 on/off is enough. Regards, chris “2000:1 On/Off CR is generally considered enough in our home theaters”
