Laptops with 50000:1 Contrast Ratio??? I am looking for a laptop whose built in monitor has at least a 50000:1 contrast ratio. So many laptops I have seen look terrible in comparison to my LG 23" 1080P Monitor. (not a TV, just a monitor) Does such a laptop exist? Thanks. | My System Specs |

I don't know if such a laptop exists, but I do know that contrast ratios are very deceptive, because the method used by manufacturers to determine this are not in any way standardized. Generally, such large contrast ratios are dynamic, not the native contrast ratio. I remember reading an article recently about a desktop monitor that was considered the best in these terms, and it only had a 3000:1 ratio, but in the native contrast standard.
EDIT: I didn't fully read it through, but perhaps the article linked below will illustrate what I have said: http://tech.yahoo.com/blogs/null/29651 | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number DIY OS W7x64 Pro, SuSe 12.1/** W7 x64 Pro, XP MCE CPU Phenom II 1090T w/Noctua NH-D14 /**4400+ X2 w/CM Hyper TX 3 Motherboard ASRock 890FX Deluxe 4/**A8N-SLI Memory 2 x 2GB Patriot PGS34g1600LLKA/**4x1GB Corsair VS Graphics Card EVGA GTX460 SC/**EVGA 8800GTS Sound Card Asus Xonar D2X/**Xonar D1 Monitor(s) Displays Acer X233H, Dell E152FPc /**LG M237-WD Screen Resolution 1920x1080 & 1024x768/**1980x1080 Keyboard Logitech Media USB/**Saitek Eclipse Mouse Cordless Trackman Wheel/**Ditto PSU CM RS600 w/ APC BX1000G/**Antec 500 TP w/ APC BX1000 Case HAF922/**Antec 1040IIB Cooling 3x200mm, 1x140 and 1x120mm/**5x80mm fans Hard Drives WDC 2TB, 1.5TB, 1TB, 500GB,Seagate 500GB , Maxtor 80GB /**500GB Seagate & WDC 1TB Black Internet Speed 3.3Mbps Other Info SB 560 5.1 w/ Sennheiser RS140/**Creative T20 speakers, Dvico FusionHDTV7 Gold RT, Cisco E3000, HP 5510V AIO, Linksys E3000, Belkin F5U237 hub and **F5D8055 adapter

Since I haven't seen a monitor that comes with a laptop even list their contrast ratio, I had a bad feeling about finding one that would do what I want it to do, at least for now. I think my next step is to contact Asus, Toshiba, and LG to see if they know of any laptops that are available now or will be in the near future that will meet my standards and need.
thanks for your response. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Clone OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 CPU AMD X3 2.8ghz Motherboard ASROCK AM3 chipset Memory 4GB DDR3 10666 Graphics Card ATI 2900 GT Sound Card Creative Labs X-Fi Platinum Monitor(s) Displays SyncMaster 730B PSU 850Watts by Antec Case Clone Cooling Air Hard Drives 1.5TB Seagate

What you are speaking of regarding the faded or blurry display is the viewing angles, which are separate and distinct specifications from contrast ratio. My Acer X233H has 40000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, but that is not the reason that I can see it clearly at sharp angles, it is because it has a 160/160 horizontal and vertical viewing angles. I don't know if this specification is given on laptops or not, but it is what I would be looking for. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number DIY OS W7x64 Pro, SuSe 12.1/** W7 x64 Pro, XP MCE CPU Phenom II 1090T w/Noctua NH-D14 /**4400+ X2 w/CM Hyper TX 3 Motherboard ASRock 890FX Deluxe 4/**A8N-SLI Memory 2 x 2GB Patriot PGS34g1600LLKA/**4x1GB Corsair VS Graphics Card EVGA GTX460 SC/**EVGA 8800GTS Sound Card Asus Xonar D2X/**Xonar D1 Monitor(s) Displays Acer X233H, Dell E152FPc /**LG M237-WD Screen Resolution 1920x1080 & 1024x768/**1980x1080 Keyboard Logitech Media USB/**Saitek Eclipse Mouse Cordless Trackman Wheel/**Ditto PSU CM RS600 w/ APC BX1000G/**Antec 500 TP w/ APC BX1000 Case HAF922/**Antec 1040IIB Cooling 3x200mm, 1x140 and 1x120mm/**5x80mm fans Hard Drives WDC 2TB, 1.5TB, 1TB, 500GB,Seagate 500GB , Maxtor 80GB /**500GB Seagate & WDC 1TB Black Internet Speed 3.3Mbps Other Info SB 560 5.1 w/ Sennheiser RS140/**Creative T20 speakers, Dvico FusionHDTV7 Gold RT, Cisco E3000, HP 5510V AIO, Linksys E3000, Belkin F5U237 hub and **F5D8055 adapter
