The PT-AE8000U generates deeper blacks by incorporating Panasonic's Pure Contrast Plates, which match the LCD panel characteristics, virtually eliminating light leakage.
Anyway, ExtremeTech doesn't think that the image quality on Gateway's LCD TV is as good as it could be (its contrast is good, while its dark value could be a bit better), but anyone buying this TV is probably more focused on getting a flat-panel HDTV on the cheap than getting the best picture quality possible.
As we reported earlier, they are taking LCD's and displays in general to the next step, by producing greater contrast ratios (200k:1), which will increase the quality of the picture we get from all currently available displays.
