Differences in LCD's are digital vs analog, some do both. Digital is preferred if your video will support it. The contrast ratio: 300:1, 500:1, 600:1, 1000:1, etc. More is better in contrast. Last is the update speed in ms. You want faster update speeds when given a choice. The update speed effects how crisp the image is when changing, say viewing a video of gaming, but even in regular refreshing of the screen. -Derek At 04:58 PM 8/2/2006, dick hoogendijk wrote: >Two LCD screens.
