Just a bit confused. I know it's about brighter whites and darkest blacks but..... which way mean which???


Is 3000:1 better or worse than 5000:1????

Just curious, this may sound like a dumb question. I was trying to pick out a monitor...

5000:1 is better than 3000:1

Thank You.

No problem.

theres also Dynamic and Static contrast ratio to consider

a static 3000:1 contrast ratio is better than a dynamic 3000:1 contrast ratio

plus different manufactures have different test measurements to inflate there numbers to market better.

My advice is try to go to your local store and check out first hand which looks better or just read a few reviews on reputable sites

so to sum up 5000:1 and 3000:1 are pretty close, dont assume 100% 5000:1 will be better. but if they are the same manufacture for both then most likely 5000:1 is the better choice.
