Contrast ratio or cd/m2

[johnson636]

I'm trying to decide which lcd monitor to purchase and I've narrowed it down to two options

Acer® AL1732d

17" Flat Panel Display


Acer AL1716, also 17' (20.00 more)

Both of the model's spec are the same except that the 1732D has contrast ratio of 500:1, Brightness 400 cd/m2, and a response of 12ms. The 1716 has a contrast ratio of 700:1, Brightness 300 cd/m2 , and a response of 8ms.

Which is more important: Contrast ratio or cd/m2 :unsure:

Since LCD's rarely suffer from brightness issues, go with the higher contrast ratio and lower response time.
