Featured Replies

So my 18th birthday is coming up i asked my mom for a blue phat but she said no..... Good dam noobs..... So instead i want one of those cool flate panel widescreen monitors. Im looking for around a 19inch maybe 20inch if there not to expensive. So here are my question...

Higher contrast ratio = good

 

 

 

lower MS = good

 

 

 

bigger the screen = higher the resolution

 

 

 

go on that website, and find a nice 19'' one :) look at the reviews and look for 5 star rated products... you cant go wrong with newegg.

VeiwSonic is an excelent brand. Acer, LG, and Samsung are all good brands.

1000:1 ratio would be horrible, it would be like looking at a ruler.

 

 

 

The standard ratio for widescreen monitors is 16:9

Contrast ratio has nothing to do with the width and height of the screen.

 

 

 

The ratio of the brightest and darkest images a display can reproduce.

 

 

 

As LP already said, the higher the contrast ratio the better. Also, even if you don't get a true widescreen monitor (16:9 as Evadek tryed to point out), a standard 19" LCD is still plenty large. :mrgreen:

didn't realise he said contrast sorry

Holy crap, 2000:1 contract ratio w/ 5ms .... 19'' for under 300$ thats insane.. if u can, get that one. you will forever love it.

 

 

 

I agree with LP on this one. That monitor looks realy good. 5ms response time is above average and it's under $300 for a 19inch.
