So you are saying monitors are crap without a high contrast ratio?
You do know that most of the time, its dynamic contrast or hugely overstated?
It's the panel inside what matters, a 5000:1 TN panel will be inferior to a 3000:1 IPS panel.
No im not saying that they are completly crap. its gonna do a good job
in offices and people who just browse the internet and send emails.
but lets look at the OPs situation and needs. this rig is getting
built for "gaming" and gaming on the PC is the best way to do it.
If he donsnt want his games looking the best it can be, then he
may aswell just buy a Nintendo Wii for his nephew.
now the GPUs thats been touted for this build is gonna provide
some sick looking visuals and just as much colour as the human eye
can see. so you need the specifications to back that up or as i said
wots the point in the higher end cards.
So if 50,000:1 provides "FAR more" colour range than 5000:1
then it should be a no brainer if you want your games to look the best.
if i didnt want quality picture and speed in my games then
id still be using the 10year old monitor iv sitting in my shed and have
the price of a 24"HD monitor still in my pocket.
as for the Responce time.
well its 99% that his nephew is going to game
online because broadband is almost part of the furniture now in most houses
across the uk. the main issue with online gaming is "Latency" the lower you have, the better.
you want the server to register your bullets first rather than the guy your facing in a mexican standoff.
The quality of the broadband is 90% of it, but if you have a faster responce
monitor to keep up with the latest "First Person Shooter" games then
all the better for the outcome. as tesco would say "every little helps"
i dont think these monitors are priced £50 more for no reason. its clear why they are and who ther aimed at.
my favourite saying "you get what you pay for"
