Looking to buy a new monitor
This is kinda off topic, but kinda not. Anyway,
I have a 20" monitor and I want to upgrade to around a 27". I have 3 screens, 2 are HP 2010i and one is a Dell ST2010. I have noticed the Dell being much darker than the HP's, even when I adjust the settings. I thought this was because of the HDMI but then I noticed a huge difference in dynamic contrast ratio. The HP's have a dynamic contrast ratio of 15,000:1 while the Dell has 1000:1. To be honest, I don't know what dynamic contrast ratio is but this makes me think that the lower the ratio the darker the screen? After thinking that, I took a look at the monitor I want to get and it has a 3,000,000:1 ratio.
What I'm getting at here is that I want a 27" that is as close to my 20" HP as I can, but LED because of the more vibrant colors (right?)
Here are the monitors:
*What I am thinking about getting: Amazon.com: HP 2711x 27-Inch LED Monitor - Black: Computer & Accessories
*What I have (also what I want to replicate): Amazon.com: HP 2010i 20-Inch Diagonal HD Ready LCD Monitor - Black: Computer & Accessories
*The other one I have (What I DONT want to replicate): Amazon.com: Dell ST2010 20-Inch 16:9 Aspect Ratio Flat Panel Monitor: Computer & Accessories
