    Dynamic Contrast isn't the only LCD metric that's not very "definitive ". You can't really just compare stats and say, okay this one is the best. It can be a real shell game.

    If you look at reviews and customer testimonials for LCDs then tend to be very inconsistent. One person can say an LCD walks on water while someone else says its average or even worse - and I'm referring to "pro" reviews too.

    Here's some links to good LCD reviews:

    and check this out!!! A LCD metric comparison tool:

    Way cool! Change your selections in boxes labelled 'Step 1', 'Step 2' and 'Step 3'.
