Is 250cd/m2 and a contrast ratio of 1:20Million good?

About to buy a 140 euro 1080p monitor with a refresh rate of 1ms when the lightness of the LCD caught my eye. Opinions?

Those are all normal specs for a cheapo 100 euro monitor. In fact you can find ips for similar price and specs.

20 million:1 contrast ratio is dynamic contrast. It's a meaningless marketing number. Basically it means the monitor darkens when you're displaying all dark colors, brightens when displaying all bright colors. It's useless if you're displaying both dark and bright colors at once.

I was able to find a Dutch review of the monitor which puts its true contrast ratio at a respectable 845:1.

Based on that review, the only real weakness to the monitor is that it's a TN panel, and the colors shift pretty quickly with changes in vertical viewing angle.

Thanks for the reply and thats basically isnt a problem since the monitor is mainly for gaming and music production and not viewing movies from a distance. Thanks!
