> I think there are two different ways to judge contrast ratio, and it kinda confuses me too. But basically the contrast ratios is the differences in the colors and the depth of the blacks in the screen.

So should I be looking for a contrast ratio close to 2500:1 or 35000:1?

Also, since it has to do with the difference between color and black on the screen would the lighting in my room have any impact?
