Comments on ‘LG monitors to attain 5000:1 contrast ratio’

Mistake 

Your conversion from pounds to dollars is wrong. No monitor would be sold for $85 if it had a 5000:1 CR.

I don't know about the Euro conversion though.

Your Mistake, not theirs. 

Alert

$85 if for the 3000:1 contrast ratio. It's well into the $300+ range for the 5000:1.

No, still wrong. 

"By comparison, Samsung's SM226CW 22in LCD monitor, which uses DCR, but has a 3000:1 contrast ratio, retails for around £170 (€193/$315)"

£170 converts to €239/$350.

Which is the best Linux for laptops?
