Wait a minute...the LG L1970H-BF is one of the new LGs with the high contrast. Go for that one!
It should be great for gaming if the response time rating is any indication. Viewing angles tell me it's a TN panel, reaffirming that it should be good for gaming.
Details about the high-contrast method based on a similar LG model:

I'm sure it's hard for you to decipher it so I'll summarize the comments about the contrast ratio and DFC. First of all check this video out: http://www.flatpanels.dk/billeder/l1770h_vid1.wmv
It shows how the DFC dynamically changes according to the image on the screen. The backlight is reduced when the mouse is out of the frame. When I move the mouse back the white cursor is recognized and some algorithm must decide to intensify the backlight.
Without DFC I measured the contrast ratio to be 172/0.3 = 573:1. Black dot 0.3 cd/m2
With DFC: 172/0.1 = 1720:1. Black dot 0.1 cd/m2.
The method has potential but it's not perfect yet. If the manufacturers could use LEDs together with this kind of technology we could see interesting results as the backlight could be controlled in sections.
