Well iam not expert but i knwo something. First of all like one said before that contrast ratio the more the better. Its not true at all. It totally depends of screen size and brightess ratios. Otherwise if conrast ratio is too high it messes up the colors and they get out of balance. Main thing you have to ask is: do i use this lcd for playing. if yes you need response time at least 16ms (the lower the better). and it must be acctual response time not some strange average like some producers give. But still the main concern is price.If you could give the price range i could suggest couple of models for you.Sry if there are any typos.
