is that monitor edge lit LED or array lit? I can't see how edge lit would be any better than ccfl . . . no local dimming. and as far as i know array lit don't have 1 led per pixel so i wouldn't call their contrast ratio natural. Its just more natural than the absurd dynamic. The number they give you is still a dynamic contrast ratio number . . . it just applies to a smaller section of the screen (not an individual pixel)
