Is there any way to "measure" your screen contrast ratio?

Is there? I've searched the web for monitor info, and I don't believe one shit of it (It read that the monitor in question is 200:1, but it's vastly superiour to both 300:1 and 700:1 monitors that I have).

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Monitor name?

You can't calculate it, I think. Anyway, if it says 200:1, then it may be that... you just haven't tuned your other ones properly to display it better.

It's my laptop's screen, lol.

And the other monitors are as set as they will ever become. I've spent hours on each when I calibrate them. The laptop still has much darker blacks and clearer colours/whites.
