Refresh rate is how fast it redraws the screen. 60 is slow for quick action. 120 is good, 240 is probably tops a person would notice, 600 would be advertizing gimic?
Contrast ratings are some magic number that don't relate well from one manufaturer to the next (tey all lie about it....), but is the most noticable 'feature' I see on TV's.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
