Think of black as the canvas upon which a TV's picture is painted. A lighter black level can "show through" the colors of the image, washing them all out, while a darker black enables richer color and more natural representation of dark scenes.
Ideally a TV's level of "black" stays stable, but in reality, on most TVs it becomes brighter as the image brightens. This increase is usually too gradual to be distracting, but if I notice it I'll point it out and, if it's distracting enough, it will influence the review in a negative way.
In my initial reviews of the PND7000 and PND8000 I looked specifically for--but never noticed--any fluctuation in black level. After those pieces published, however, I started seeing complaints about "brightness pops," which seemed to me to describe fluctuating black level. I rewatched the Blu-rays I'd cited in the reviews and used the TVs in numerous comparisons, but I never saw the "pops" in person.
For now, the vast majority of 3D HDTVs require glasses for 3D viewing. Many use powered “active shutter” glasses, others polarized “passive” glasses. You’ll need one pair per viewer, and they’ll have to be compatible with your display, whether they’re the same brand, or a pair of “universal” glasses designed to work across brands.
Internet-ready devices use your broadband connection to deliver dynamic content to your television, whether it’s streaming video from Netflix, new music from Pandora, or a quick glance at today’s weather forecast.

Manufacturers continue to add new content to their offerings, keeping customers current through firmware updates, and making a bit of research a prudent step in your buying decision....
