If you think 5000:1 looks good then your mind would bleed from 10,000,000:1

I have two monitors, one with 1000:1 and 100,000:1 contrast ratios. There's literally no noticeable difference.
And then there's another monitor in my house that's like 1,000,000:1 and there's still no difference.

Son I don't think you know what the stuff you're talking about.
--- Quote ---Monitors with LED backlight usually have these ridiculous contrast ratios. Ignore them.
Monitors typically have between 700:1 to 1000:1 static contrast ratios. Any higher are dynamic contrast ratios whether they state it or not. Most specs are for marketing purposes.

--- Quote ---Dynamic Contrast is essentially false advertising. It should be freaking illegal to post these numbers. Next it will be a Billion to 1 contrast !!!!
Totally and completely meaningless.
But the base screen here is still about 1000:1. Black bars will still look like gray mush. Complete and utter BS.

--- Quote ---Contrast ratio is essentially (max luminosity)/(min luminosity). If you can dim the LED backlight all the way to OFF, the min luminosity becomes zero - and the contrast ratio becomes technically undefined. Marketing folks will assume this to mean that the contrast is essentially infinite... but they know that consumers won't believe that. So they just make up an obscenely large number and call it a day. Yup. Completely meaningless.

keep in mind the Crossover is also LED backlit AND IPS... so technically it has that wonderful 1,000,000:1 contrast.
Sorry, just niggled me a bit because that seemed like marketing bullstuff and I'm glad I found more info on it.

This. According to a bunch of sources that 1:000,000:1 contrast ratio is literally just marketing b/s, anything higher than 1000:1 is dynamic contrast.

As an artist colors mean alot to me
alot
Also the links do not say what the refresh rate is. Not only that, 5ms is inexcusable.
KoopaScooper:
5ms is practically standard for rather cheap monitors
75Hz is what you could at least expect
shut up please

As a graphic designer, gamer, programmer and engineer anything over 1000:1 is indistinguishable (dynamic).
I'm sorry but if you purchased this monitor for the falsely advertised contrast ratio I pity you.
EDIT: Also if you really want more inputs the Q27-P version has a pivot-able stand and HDMI, DVI, VGA, D-Sub and DisplayPort inputs. WHABAM.
