Someone please shine some light on my question.

Why is it that generally, the bigger the monitor, the higher the brightness (cd/m2) and the higher the contrast ratio?

Like all 19inch monitors are about 300cd/m2. Can they not make it higher? Is it that bigger monitors are more expensive, so they also up the quality in brightness and contrast? or does it have to do with it being easier to increase brightness and contrast, the larger the monitor?



Reason for thinking about this:

Gaming is best done at native resolution. So though it's nice to have the added desktop space and sharpest with a large monitor because of the higher resolution...........then when you game, you have to use the higher resolution for it to look decently sharp. This takes a big hit on videocards. Even the highest videocard can't play all games out there at 1900x1200, with good performance (ie. never dipping below 50fps).

So if you have a 19inch monitor, you can play at 1400x900 (Native resolution), which basically doubles the performance (FPS) vs playing at 1900x1200. Not only will you be able to play everything on super high right now, but playing at the lower native resolution will also allow you to play more future taxing games.

That why i would like a super high quality 19inch monitor. I've had a 23inch monitor (1900x1200) for the past 3 years now (yes, paided about $1800 at the time), and even with the highest graphic cards, you have to tune the games down to play at native resolution.

I hope I explained my point well.
