Well the contrast ratio helps in color reproduction and clairty. You'll also need to look at the candela power or nits for how bright it can get. And also real important is the response. I think its something like under 25ms is good for gaming and movies anything over that will have some blurry looks.

What's the best contrast ratio.... The brighter the better? What's a GOOD response time?

Contrast ratio is the judgment between the lightest light and darkest dark that the LCD can produce. It seems that every maker has their own "contrast ratio" meaning that you really have to shop, see and compare.

higher the beter for contrast ratios. I've seen lcds at around 350:1 that are decent looking and for response like I said, under 25ms is great for video and games.
