The contrast ratio is a metric of a video display defined as the ratio of the light intensity of the brightest possible color a display is capable of to the darkest color a display is capable of. The higher the contrast ratio, the better the display.

Examples are 800:1, 700:1, and 500:1 from higher to lower capability.

In audio, the equivalent is dynamic range.
