New monitor advice

Hi folks

I am looking to upgrade my computer monitor. The new monitor will be a second monitor to sit alongside my existing 17"CRT. I'll run windows on the CRT and the photo processing stuff on the TFT monitor, mostly Photoshop and CaptureNX.

I've decided 22" wide screen for size. anything less would be smaller height than what I've got, and 24" would be to big (& expensive).

Question is what to look for in the spec.?

One I've spotted is the LG W2252TQ
Spec is:

Contrast Ratio 10000:1
Image Brightness 300 cd/m2
Interface DVI VGA (HD-15)
Max Resolution 1680 x 1050
Response Time 2 ms
Signal Input DVI-D, VGA


Contrast ratio seems much higher than most others, and response time is faster. Is this good?

Anyone use this screen.

It has two inputs, and I believe it can use both to switch between two computers.

Thanks

Martin
