I am planning on buying a flat panel LCD soon, and I have been shopping around to see what it out there. I noticed all the monitors list under the stats two things I am unsure as to what they mean: Contrast Ratio, and nnms (where 'nn' is a number such as 25).
I know what contrast is, but I am not sure what to make of the ratio, the higher the ratio, the sharper the picture? Or am I totally off?
Then for the ms. Just what is it? From what I have guessed, I *think* it is similar to the refresh rate on a CRT, is this correct? So would that mean that a higher ms is better than a low one?
Thank you all!
