Hey, there are a few monitors that I'm looking at.... and many of them
have varying contrast ratios. Here are the two main ones I am looking
at: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6824009094

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6824254020

If you took a look at the specs, the Hanns-G model has a 1000:1
contrast ratio, and the Acer model has a 700:1 contrast ratio. I know
what contrast ratios are... but my question is will the difference
between the Hanns-G and Acer display be noticable in terms of the
contrast? Does the extra contrast ratio (and on-monitor usb ports :D)
justify a $20 extra price tag... plus shipping? Thanks.
