Just in case you don't trust your eyes, here are the nitty-gritty tests we used to see which HDTVs performed best. We divided our test methodology into two broad areas: objective and subjective. For the measured, objective portions, we test four major areas of performance: contrast ratio, RGB color response, gray-scale and color temperature linearity, and black and white uniformity. We tested via the component video input (Y-Pb-Pr), using Milori's ColorFacts measurement software with a Minolta CA-210 colorimeter. The CA-210 is aligned so it's perpendicular to the display and positioned at point-blank range. For contrast ratio, we used an ANSI-9 nine-point measurement pattern, in a three-by-three grid. For the RGB color response and linearity measurements, we took one measurement at dead center.
