How are the black levels on the new MBPs?

The colors show marked improvement if the display units are to be believed, but how about the black levels?

I have a 2013 rMBP, and in total darkness a properly set up mid-range TV is leaps and bounds ahead contrast-wise.

I haven't seen any measures of this, but numerous reviews mention the blacks are blacker than before. Apple claims a 67% larger contrast ratio, which should mean blacker blacks and whiter whites.

I don't have much to compare to but the black's are far blacker than my Razor Blade 2016.
