When Buying LCDs is Contrast Ratio or Display Colors more important?
In both cases higher is better.
Contrast Ratio- the ratio of the luminosity of the brightest and the darkest color the system is capable of producing.
"800:1 is better than 700:1 and so on."
Display Colors- (as far as I can tell) is the number of collors a display can display.
Measured in bits or millions of colors displayed. 24-bit = 16.7 million colors
"16.7 million colors is better than 16.2 million colors"
I need help understanding "Display Colors" what it means and why it's important.
I am looking at 2 ACER Displays and want to get the best of these 2.

I am also looking at this LG display. But I can't find the Spec of "Display Colors" for it.
