Depends on what kind of TV you're looking at. Plasma's are noted for their good contrast ratio, so it's not a problem.
LCD's have more of a problem with contrast ratios and response times. Manufacturers have now muddied the waters by introducing Dynamic ratios. As near as I can figure I'd divide by 5 to find the static contrast ratio. Myself, I'd be looking for a TV that had a static contrast ratio of at least 1000 and a response time of 8 or less for fast moving sports but the final judge is your own eyes, so I'd take these numbers with a grain of salt.
