Philips 42" LCD-TV 42PF9831D/10 PP3 HD Ambilight 1366x768 PIP 7000:1 HD-ready

For HD TV which is better - to have better resolution ie 1920x1080 or higher Contrast Ratio ??

Any contrast over 1500 is acceptible in illuminated room. The higher contrast figures are only meaningfull in a unlit room or VERY bright backlight. (The Backlights will be similar = peak white brightness).
Ability to do dark shades and pale pastels is important and there is little difference.

GO for the

It will be the better overall picture.
How often do you watch TV in a blacked out room with dark grey or black walls?
