Question:

LCD monitor, 10 point awaitng?

i wanna buy LCD monitor 19 inch for gaming purpose, but first i wanna know :1. what is contrast ratio? is that has effect when i'm playing games (is more higher contrast ratio ex 10000:1 mean more better)2. respon times, what is thatcan somebody explain to me

Answer:

i'll make my answer simple: 1. Contrast Ratio just means how dark black really is. Higher ratio, the better. (ex 10,000:1 is better than 1,000:1) 2. Response time is how long it takes for your monitor to display a picture. shorter is better. mine are 5ms and great for gaming. pretty much anything 8 or under should be fine.
1. The contrast ratio is a measure of a display system, defined as the ratio of the luminance of the brightest color (white) to that of the darkest color (black) that the system is capable of producing. A high contrast ratio is a desired aspect of any display. more higher more better. 2. Response time is the amount of time a pixel in an LCD monitor takes to go from black to white and back to black again. It is measured in milliseconds (ms). Lower numbers mean faster transitions and therefore fewer visible image artifacts. LCD screens with a high response time value are often unsuitable to play fast paced computer games. The pixel response time is often confused with the LCD input lag which adds another form of latency to pictures displayed by LCD screens. An LCD screen with high response time and significant input lag will not give satisfactory results when playing fast paced computer games or performing fast high accuracy operations on the screen, so 5 or 2 ms will be good for games
Basically you want the lower response time. 4-8ms is pretty good for an LCD monitor. And as far as contrast ratio goes, yes you're right a higher contrast ratio (5000:1 vs. 1000:1) is better.
