Contrast ratio: The ratio between between the brightest and darkest areas of an image. With a larger contrast ratio, a projector has a greater ability to show subtle color details and tolerate extraneous room light.

AND,


Contrast ratio describes the ratio between black and white on the screen. The larger the contrast ratio, the better subtle color differences will be displayed on the screen. Contrast ratios start at 200:1 and 250:1, while the best models are as high as 400:1 or 500:1.

That should answer your questions.

Get the HIGHEST contrast ratio that you can get.

Also, if you're doing gaming, make sure you get one with a low response time - as in 20ms and lower.

if u can get your hands on a Dell 1702FP, its a SLEEPER!
Even though its advertised with a 500:1 contrast, it has been tested to have a ratio of 892:1!!!

Right now, Samsung makes some of the most impressive LCDs in my opinion.
