Philips 23PF5320/28 23" LCD
Can anybody here give me a review on this television? I'm thinking of selling off some un-used items and purchasing one.. but would like to know more about it.
I searched for reviews online, only found a few, all of them (mostly) said that it's an amazing tv for the price, but the contrast ratio of 450:1 leaves blacks too bright when viewing.

Dont like the contrast ratio which is a bit low.
Also look for something with a better response time of around 8ms rather then the 16 on this TV......

Respone time is a little slow which is bad for gaming like Ifti said and the Contrast ratio could be a little higher.

The 23" Samsungs are way to expensive. I'ld go for a 26" or 32" Vizio, Sceptre, Olevia, or Westinghouse instead

The 23" Samsung is expensive unless you but it from Costco now with a $75 off instant drop to $475, shipping included. But it is still expensive for a 23".
