500:1 contrast ratio for 20" lcd?

Newegg buyers give it good reviews. Your video card needs to be able to display the monitors native @ 1400x1050.
 
500:1 contrast ratio should be more than adequate for trading / charting apps. However, this monitor's max resolution is subpar for its size (which might explain the low, for BB, $230 sale price out the door). Generally, you want 1600 x 1200 in a 20" LCD - a large, noticeable step up from the 19" standard of 1280 x 1024 - rather than the "in-between" 1400 x 1050.

If, however, you know that you don't want / need 1600 x 1200, then a 19" would probably be a better option, for less.
