You have a customer who wants you to recommend a large LCD monitor for him. He is a self-employed graphic artist and photographer and requires the best contrast ratio available. Of the following values, which one would best suit his request?

A. 800:1

B. 600:1

C. 450:1

D. 150:1

Solution

A. A contrast ratio represents the measurement in the difference between light intensity between the brightest white and the darkest black. Higher resolutions always render a brighter display and more vivid colors. Contrast ratios can go up much higher, to 5000:1 for example, in both LCD and plasma displays, though the image on the plasma would be superior. In this case, the correct answer is 800:1.
