I am comparing monitors for my new build and I don't know which ones would be good. The ones I have in mind are:
$249.99(retail- $279.99)
SAMSUNG 204BW Black 20" 6ms DVI Widescreen LCD Monitor with Height Adjustments 300 cd/m2 700:1 - This one has GREAT reviews from users and other web-reviewers.
Newegg.com - SAMSUNG 204BW Black 20" 6ms DVI Widescreen LCD Monitor with Height Adjustments 300 cd/m2 700:1 - Retail
$259.99(retail -$269.99)
SAMSUNG 216BW Black - Silver 21.6" 5ms DVI Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 DC 3000:1(1000:1) - This one has better specs, but not so good reviews.
Newegg.com - SAMSUNG 216BW Black - Silver 21.6" 5ms DVI Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 DC 3000:1(1000:1) - Retail
What does DC 3000:1 ratio mean? It's obviously a 1000:1 contrast ratio. But what the heck is DC...? I doubt they are talking about direct current.. or are they?
And YES, I want to play FPS games on it. I'll probably get an ATi x1950xt if that helps any in picking a particular monitor.
