Anyone want to weigh in on the importance of contrast ratio? Is there any kind of limit on the contrast ratio from a standard 720p television signal?

Contrast ratio is very important, particularly if you watch a lot of movies or other things with dark scenes. CR is just the ratio of the brightness of the brightest part of the screen to the darkest part of the screen. Watch out for dynamic v. static/native CR. Dynamic is the ratio of the brightest the TV can ever be to the darkest it can ever be (while on), which is going to be a bigger number than native CR, which is calculated at a single point in time. There's nothing wrong with either measure, but don't compare apples to oranges.
I believe, but am not sure, that there is no limit to CR. I'm sure there's a practical limit in that it's probably impossible to distinguish between 50k:1 and 100k:1.
