Judges rate each TV based on several criteria including, perceived contrast ratio, color saturation and color volume, colorimetry, and motion artifacts, amongst others. To ensure an equal playing field for all manufactures every TV in the shootout was purchased at retail, calibrated independently by TV Shootout organizers Joel Silver (founder of ISF) and Kevin Miller; and evaluated by experts in the field of video imaging.
