They all seem to have 250 cd/m^2 brightness and 400:1 contrast ratio. Other than (possibly) response time, what specification(s) is(are) making these other monitors so superior to the dell?

i believe the samsung has 600:1 contrast ratio

excuse me, 700:1 contrast and 300 brightness.

Ok so I dont know what any of these stats mean. Other than the 1200 x 600 or whatever it is for the 4 tables on the screen!! I know I want to get a better monitor since I'm still using a crt and it's a 17" at that.

So guide me a little...I need to step up to the plate and spend some poker dough this xmas....on myself!
