RE: [APML] CRT vs Flat Panel for display of astrophotos

Alan,

This is puzzling me too.  I did some search on the web about the value of
contrast ratio, and it doesn't seem to be a comparison point "holy grail".

See for instance

I've never heard "contrast ratio" used as a term of reference, or comparison
before. Is it a valid comparison point? And if so, what would the
recommended range be?

Thanks,
Alan
