I must admit, I don't know what contrast ratio I want. I have
learned monitors with contrast ratios in the 1:400 and lower are
meant for professional imaging.
Also, I admit I don't know how to use or where the black point is.

I need to understand something regarding LCDs that have ratios over

So, what recommendations does the list members have for my cd/m2?
What contrast ratio do you want? Ideally its something real close
to the
output (print), so these high ratio's are not ideal! One could
argue you'd
be hard pressed to find a print with a white and black (Dmax) that
produces
a contrast ratio of 500:1 if that.
Divide the white luminance by the black point in order to figure
out the
contrast ratio. If you had 150cd/m2 luminance and a black point
of .25, that
would be a 600:1 contrast ratio.
