- Page 62 ●Contrast Ratio: The ratio of the high light output level divided by the low light output level. In theory, the contrast ratio of the television system should be at least 100:1, if not 300:1. In reality, there are several limitations. Well-controlled viewing conditions should yield a practical contrast ratio of 30:1 to 50:1. ●Colour Temperature: The colour quality, expressed in degrees Kelvin (K), of a light source.
