I need help deciding wich one to buy I'm currently looking at this ones to use with both pc and xbox 360 via vga cable

LG - 19" Widescreen Flat-Panel LCD Monitor
Model: W1952TQ-TF

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8739074&type=product&id=1201913867265

Maximum Resolution 1440 x 900

Response Time 2 ms

Contrast Ratio 10,000:1

vga and dvi-d too

The first one is a bit bigger and that would be nice for me since i dont sit that close to it most of the time due to surround speakers positioning but 10.000:1 contrast ratio looks very tempting I need help on this one will it really compensate to have that contrast ratio? thanks in advance

Edit: don't tell me to go look because i really can't lol

I'd get the 22" Westinghouse in a heartbeat over that LG, the resolution and size just trumps the contrast ratio for me.

Besides, 3000:1 contrast ratio does NOT suck! It's rather a good one from what I've been looking at.

Just my opinion, but that's what you posted up for isn't it?

ofcourse thanks for posting the resolution doesn't mean that much to me since my pc can't run games very well at those resolutions but the size really makes a difference I've been suffering with my samsung's contrast ratio of 500:1 for a long time now and I'm afraid that 3000:1 might not be enough to look like i would like.

The main source I'll be using it for is xbox 360 so its very important that the monitor handles analog signal well and good upscalling too.
