Contrast Ratio

I realise the $64,000 question is what LCD should I buy if I can't afford a
CG-220, so I won't ask it. However, my question is, what role does contrast
ratio play on an LCD monitor.

In theory I would have thought the greater the contrast ratio the better.
However, looking at the Eizo range it seems to be quite the reverse, with
the top of the line CG-220 weighing in at 400:1 and bottom of the line L768K
claiming a confusing 1000:1.

By confusing I mean 1000:1 would seem to be a good thing, but it's the
lowest end model of the range.

Can someone please explain A: the role of and B: the optimal, contrast ratio
of an LCD monitor. All I can find about it on line is in relation to data
projectors, where the rule of thumb seems to be more is better.

Thanks,

David Harradine
