how important is contrast ratio when purchasing a Lcd?

for instance I'm looking @ the Samsung LN52A750 it has a 50,000:1 contrast ratio

120 hz big 4 me
4ms also important
dlna
and 4 hdmi inputs

and then

theres the Sharp Aquos LC52D85U which obviously is older

but it has 5 hdmi inputs
4ms
120 hz and has a 10,000 :1 contrast ratio

and it is 300 400 dollars cheaper so my question is I want a Lcd with 120 hz that's not too expensive but how important is contrast ratio when purchasing a Lcd?

Since there isn't a standardized way among all the different manufacturers to measure this, I wouldn't worry about it. same with refresh rate.
A set that is 1500:1 can look better than a 29000:1 set
go into a store and see for yourself.
