Choosing your widescreen monitor

It is not possible to gauge a screen’s calibre from specifications alone. Even apparently obvious technical factors such as the response rate, a measure of how quickly a screen’s pixels can change colour, do not necessarily imply better performance. So how can you tell if a prospective widescreen computer monitor is the right choice? Well, any current monitor should have a digital video input, be this DVI or in rare cases HDMI. All screens should also have a contrast ratio of 800:1 or better, to give colours punch and help ensure blacks are black and whites are white. Beyond that, the specs reveal little.
