actually, it was mac pro, not a macBOOK pro
and you have to admit, the mac pro looks pretty cool.]]>Jul 4th 2008 8:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/04/acers-g24-gaming-monitor-with-worlds-best-contrast/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/04/acers-g24-gaming-monitor-with-worlds-best-contrast/

show me true specs and ill take it more seriously...not some marketing specs ...

Anyway, what you do is turn on your screen with a "normal" image/game on it. With your DSLR aimed so the monitor fills the picture area, read the exposure time from your camera. Now turn the monitor off and repeat. Compare the exposure time of the picture with that of the turned-off screen image - that's your real-life contrast ratio. Most times I've done this in a normally lit room I get a contrast ratio between 50:1 and 100:1.
To get anywhere close to the ratios quoted by the manufacturers, you'd need to be in a completely darkened room, with the brightness turned up so high it'd be like staring into the sun.

Any C/R over about 200:1-300:1 is completely meaningless and is simply marketing hype.]]>Jul 4th 2008 11:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/04/acers-g24-gaming-monitor-with-worlds-best-contrast/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/04/acers-g24-gaming-monitor-with-worlds-best-contrast/
if they have that true black or what ever tech, then the ratio drastically goes up. since if the black they produce is less luminous than the white, (it should be) the ratio goes up.]]>Jul 4th 2008 12:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/04/acers-g24-gaming-monitor-with-worlds-best-contrast/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/04/acers-g24-gaming-monitor-with-worlds-best-contrast/Jul 4th 2008 1:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/04/acers-g24-gaming-monitor-with-worlds-best-contrast/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/04/acers-g24-gaming-monitor-with-worlds-best-contrast/Jul 4th 2008 11:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/04/acers-g24-gaming-monitor-with-worlds-best-contrast/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/04/acers-g24-gaming-monitor-with-worlds-best-contrast/Jul 4th 2008 12:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/04/acers-g24-gaming-monitor-with-worlds-best-contrast/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/04/acers-g24-gaming-monitor-with-worlds-best-contrast/Jul 4th 2008 12:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/04/acers-g24-gaming-monitor-with-worlds-best-contrast/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/04/acers-g24-gaming-monitor-with-worlds-best-contrast/Jul 4th 2008 12:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/04/acers-g24-gaming-monitor-with-worlds-best-contrast/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/04/acers-g24-gaming-monitor-with-worlds-best-contrast/Jul 4th 2008 6:52PM
