My concern is that if the native contrast is very high, then it might not be able to be adjusted to a level that is suited to image editing. My secondary monitor is a Samsung 192N, which apparently has a 700:1 contrast ratio as native. I find it is rather punchy for editing, which is why I am still using my old Samsung 955DF CRT monitor as my primary. As far as calibration goes, I'm not terribly concerned about what other people see, since I can't control their calibraton. All I can do is keep my system calibrated, which is somewhat of a compromise since I need my system to coordinate with what is coming off the lab, as well as my inkjet printer and still put something on the web that is viewable witout hurting to many sets of eyes.
