To be specific, look at my new main monitor! BenQ FP951, 19 inches of DVI goodness...

From the manufacturer:

You can bet that contrast ratio is inflated -- many manufacturers do that, and some inflate the ratio by huge amounts, sometimes 40% or more.

I doubt the true figure is greater than 500:1

Nevertheless...

This is the monitor I want.

I want to get one of these in the near future:

SGI 1600SW. Old. I believe the first panel to be suitable for video work. You even get a colour lock sensor eye thingy, which is rare with LCDs.

Hehe, 12" Dell (nee Sony) Trinitron flat-screen shadow mask yada yada. Very purty and easy on the eyes. Very Happy

Next to it on my desk is a NEC 15" LCD (can't recall the model# offhand) that I use on my 4-port KVM. Came from a *ahem* former employer who no longer exists. Has 3 dead pixels, but the main reason I kept it is cuz it has built-in speakers and a 4-port USB hub. Very handy when building machines. Wink
