I'm looking to buy a new computer monitor. I'll be watching a lot of movies on it and playing games. Right now I have a 19" and I want to upgrade to a 24".
So my concerns are
A) So I know I need a 5ms or less response time, but is 5ms ok? Or should I really be looking at 2ms or lower?
B) Aspect ratio... How much does it really matter besides being widescreen or not?
C) Contrast Ratio... What should I look for?
D) I notice some of the nicer monitors talk about the color depth and gamut... Is this something I need to worry about?
I'm not a graphic designer or anything but I would like a good monitor with deep blacks and rich colors. Basically what's the difference between the $200 and $500 monitors. Most of them have the same response time, the same resolution capabilities, and the same inputs. Is it worth the extra money for a casual gamer / movie watcher?
