How much dynamic contrast to ratio can the eye see?

There has been a breakthrough in LCD TVS recently. The Samsung LN-T4681F (AVAILABLE ALSO IN 40" AND 52") has a contrast ration of 500,000:1. Impressive. Sony also has an OLED TV with a contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1. When you get to 500,000 you see an almost perfect black. If you have a movie and the screen is black, you might think that the TV is off. When you see the 1,000,000: TV you definitely think it is off. the eye can detect any contrast ratio pretty much. But i think you mean what is the ratio when your eye simply sees black. and that is when you get beyond 500,000:1. It doesn't really get much darker and blacker than that.
