One person may prefer higher contrast, but high or low is not better - it is all personal preference. You may want to include a movie clip when doing comparison - especially if you intend to use for watching any DVDs. You will want to read reviews of the monitor too (especially from gamers who are very particular about their hardware).<BR /><BR />Allan<BR /> Mon, 03 Oct 2005 22:09:14 GMT Allan Bowman 2005-10-03T22:09:14Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-microsoft/flat-screen-monitor/m-p/4930941#M10459 I am in the market for a new pc and monitor, I would like to know what to look for in technical details for a better than average 19" flat screen.<BR />Thanks to all who reply.
