Saw a nice 22' one yesterday at Emart but, it said in the top corner of the case enclosing the screen that it was 3000:1 2m...when I got home I tried to find it on the K-shopping malls but couldn't find any that were 3000:1....the price the guy quoted was around 400,000. I think I found the same monitor on the web but it was only 700:1...what's up w/ this? I'm sure there's a simple explanation, but what is it?

You don't know how to count the zeroes before the decimal place.

The 226BW has the 3000-1 contrast (Dynamic contrast). The older 225BW has the 700-1 contrast. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/category/category_slc.asp?CatId=2775&Nav=|c:12|m:758|&Sort=3&Recs=10

Yeah, that's it I'm pretty sure...but it goes under a different model number here in Korea and and costs a little under 400,000.

Interesting article about the 3 different versions of the 226bw here:
