Hi,

I want to buy a 2nd monitor to use as preview display for editing HD footage. Here are some options I found through a local store in Finland, all 1920x1200:

BenQ 24" Wide TFT G2400W, 2ms (GTG), VGA/DVI/HDMI, 1000:1
379 euros

Acer 24" Wide TFT, AL2416WB, 5ms, VGA, 1000:1, 400cd/m2
409 euros

LG 24" Wide TFT, L246WH-BN, 5ms, HDMI, VGA, 2000:1, 400cd/m2,
419 euros

Which of these features would you think are most important? Contrast ratio? cd/m2?

I have an NVidia Geforce 7600 GS display adapter. Any advice would greatly be appreaciated!
