He also did not do (or at least did not mention) anything about the reflected/diffused and ambient light behind and around the TV screen, which would negatively impact contrast.

Aw, give him a break. Neither do OLED tv reviews, but I do not see everyone piling on them "well, technically the contrast isn't inf because the screen is scattering the ambient light"

Have you seen those samsung qdoleds? In a normally lit room they look more washed out than a VA panel, yet somehow still having an "inf" contrast...

No. It's not literally infinite contrast.

On the other hand, there's very little light spill from DLP--- and what little there is, is attenuated by a really big factor by the LCD.

I'd guess the limiting factor is light scattered elsewhere in the room and by the front surface of the display.

True, but for this purpose, it's "blacker" than a typical LED backlit TV. For a Youtube / DIY project ... I think the description is fine.

Good point, I hadn't even thought of this.
