The FG2421 gets around 5k:1.

Are there any other monitors for under ~$700 (preferably closer to $150), that achieve a similar rating?


Thanks.

The 2011/2012 gen AMVA Panels have the highest contrast ratios of all lcd monitors ever, but they are lacking in almost every other regard, best to use as small televisions and office panels.

Here is a comparison table with contrasts, deltaE and more
but I'm not sure their scr measurements are always correct, because some results are just insane, others seem too low

(edit added some more)

a prad review of one (they rated FG2421 4200:1), bad results in color section and 240hz PWM

the new 8-domain amva(+) are better in all other areas but contrast is not that high anymore
here are some of the higher scoring ones
S27C750P (3600:1-3900:1)
BL2410PT PWM version (~3700:1)
XB2483HSU (3300:1-3600:1)
VN279QLB (2800-3600:1)

subpixel old AMVA (S2440L)

subpixel new AMVA (XB2783HSU)

subpixel UV²A (MVA type) (FG2421)

subpixel Innolux S-MVA (40L3400U)

don't forget to check reviews for light/backlight bleed near the edges
 
I still use the GW2450HM because i couldn't find any better allrounder Monitor yet.
