Don't rely on ratings. They do not at all represent your needs nor 
do they predict what YOU will see. Best to bring a camera memory 
card with you with some images or whatever kinds of data you want 
to use to the store and "encourage" them to show you the monitor(s) 
you're interested in using YOUR data and NOT canned video the store 
provides.

And, be sure to ask what resolutions are supported besides the 
16:10 wide-screen natural resolution. Also, look at Samsung.
