Well now, wasn't that interesting....
Something was screwy with the 'net at woot. Packets were dying as they got to Dallas. Glad to have you back Woot. :-)

Ha.
I'd heard each manufacturer has their own way of rating contrast ratio and that there was no way to compare them across manufacturers based on numbers alone.
This proves it:
Philips 32" LCD HDTV Features:Contrast ratio (typical): 2500:1
Vizio 32" LCD HDTV Features:100,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio
No way does the Vizio have THAT much better contrast ratio than the Philips! That'd made the Philips so faded...it'd be unreal.
favorite woots:
Timex Clock Radio for Sansa and Sansa e260 4 gB**Kodak C813 Camera**iRiver 2 GB Clix**Gateway PC w/Quad Core Processor**Roomba 530**Kai Shun 2 Piece Knife Set***Tornado File Transfer**Ultrex 8 Piece Knife Set**Wowwee Dragonfly**Sharper Image Cooking Thermometer**AND MANY MORE!

You do realize that was over most our heads?

Because it's not Black Friday. I will say that Best Buy has a brand new Dynex for the same price. I am assuming since you are looking at cheap TV's that it's a bedroom TV or at least not your main TV. In which case, brand names really don't matter, and 720 is enough for a 32inch TV. You cannot tell the difference.
