Q. What does contrast ratio mean concerning Lcd computer monitors I've been looking to buy one and the only difference is the contrast ratio one says 600:1 contrast ration and the other 650:1 which one is better?
A. Contrast ratio is a measure between the brightest whites and blackest blacks. Higher is better. Contrast ratio is about the only weakness LCD has compared to CRT.
Contrast ratio is especially noticable when watching full-screen video. A lower contrast ratio will look less detailed in darker areas and the picture will look "washed out" and not very realistic. 600 or 650 aren't great specs these days... I'd look for at least 800 if you'll be watching any video on the monitor and want the best video quality... It wouldn't be that important for just web surfing, most gaming, etc... Barely noticeable...
My monitor is a little older and has a contrast ratio around 600. Video does NOT look impressive at all and I often think of upgrading. One of these days...
I'd say a higher contrast ratio is more important to picture quality than a higher brightness number... unless you'll be using the monitor in bright light... then brightness is important too... A shorter response time is also desirable for the best gaming and full motion video quality. 8ms is very acceptable and most monitors on the market now will meet that spec or be even faster (lower number).

lcd monitors ?
Q. i have a samsung crt monitor and am planning to buy an lcd monitor ! how do i know if my system would be compatible with it ??? i have a intel d101ggc mobo [ integrated graphics ] .wat would be the price ?
A. If your connectors are the same you should have no issue. Not all LCD monitors or graphic cards support both DVI and VGA so you might need to get an adapter or just match your connectors.
Now your graphics card might not be able to optimally handle your LCD monitor but that's usually on the higher end LCD monitor. For instance, your graphics card may only be able to display 1024x768 while your LCD monitor may be able to handle much higher resolutions (this isn't a problem for lower end LCD monitors).
So worst case scenario is you pay for a premium LCD monitor but could have gotten away with a cheaper LCD monitor and get the same quality (but not be as future proof).
