In referring to monitors, what is the difference between 'contrast' and 'dynamic' ratios. I see contrast ratios about 1000:1 and dynamic ratios 00000000:1. Which is more important?

    This Wiki is kinda alright: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrast_ratio



    True contrast ratio IMO is more important, but you got to check things out yourself, see how the screen looks in light and dark. Some panels with a lot of dynamic contrast tend to blow out the contrast and colours too much, sometimes, artificially so.

    Wiki gave me statistics but didn't really answer my question. You did. Thanks.
