flatpanels HD 0.0 cdm/2
Cnet Black luminance 0.0001 ft/lm
The 0.08 is from a non dimmed zone or with dimming off since in a dimmed zone it cannot be measured and thats from televisioninfo who have the Sony measurements taken at their settings of 400Cd/m2+.
HDTVtest UK with the calibirated settings measured 0.05cdm/2 in non dimmed zone .

"In 13% white window (peak brightness) yielded the TV black level and 0,02 nits brightness 82 nits.
In box 50% white television gave black level and 0,02 nits brightness 87 nits.
The card fee Chess Board, which approximates the most realistic way of behavior we all TV black level with an average of 0,04 nits [from 0.01 to 0.03] and brightness from 50 to 60 nits, which betrays a highly unequal distribution of only 9%."
The measurements done are in a pitch dark room and a black blanket covering the screen.
The slightest amount of light will lead to a loss in black levels and contrast.
Real world contrast matters in day time or in a room with ambient light hitting the screen,where lcds score.
In really bright rooms lcds have the sheer brightness advantage the HX92 for eg can go to 400+cd/m2 if the need arises to defeat glare.
here is the great brightness of the VT30 from televisioninfo add to the fact that plasma wash out more if light hit their screen.
