I'm almost certain it was this model

AFAIK its the PHILIPS 32PF5331 as Bruce Wayne said

yup, Philips 32" PF5331 is for sale for €899 in Dixons, DID, Harvey Norman (all Swords)

also PC World has Philips 32" PF5331D that has 800:1 (comparing to 1600:1 on non-D model) for the same price
However, I wouldn't be too sure about the specs on the ad in the shop as many of them seem to be random filled or such

thinking about getting the non-D one now, anyone has it perhaps? It hasn't got the PC Input but it does have 2 x HDMI, is the picture any better through it?

I wanted to use it as a media center monitor and to browse internet having PIP in the corner but noone could tell me does is have 1:1 pixel mapping

When did you see it there and which branch?

Mullingars stock of them was gone three days ago and no similar good offers?

I think you both confuse two models

32PF3321 for €799 and 32PF5321 for €899

the €899 in DID -> http://www.didstore.com/store_detail.asp?modelcode=32PF5331&subid=195

the one for €799 in Harvey must be 32PF3321 then - I saw the PF325321 for €899 in Swords branch (Airside) - the very first one in the top left corner of 32 LCD shelves

not sure whats the difference though..low-priced Philips LCD's aren't well covered at AVForums

Philips models go like

32PF5321 > 32PF3321.

Saw a 32PF3321 for 1199 today in Harvey Normans, terrible PQ imo

guess it's a typo 'cause:

32PF3321 is €799
32PF5321 is €899 (both above and this have "Crystal Clear" whatever that means)
32PF7321 is €1149 (this is the one with "Pixel Plus" whatever that means - saw it in DID and Harvey today)

I recon the PQ rating depends on what's being played on particular model, saw many running with SD BBC and some had HD demo played from one of PCs around

now looking at the telly with SD and another one with HD on it how could I say which one is better? Plus it also depends what contrast/brightness/saturation is set up
Some of 32 LCDs in Harvey were stocked in a row with the same HD movie with a guy showoffing his ball skills and they were hardly different - I think on of the top models had deeper blacks and that's all
I'd need to see it playing SD, HD, HD with fast moving content, with PC connected to see how eg. the browser and the actual text looks like, with DVD movie and a HD game (either Xbox 360 or PS3) - then I could eventually say it's either yay or nay

apologize for being a smarta$$ here's the list of 32 Philips lcds @DID -> http://www.didstore.com/store_subcat.asp?catid=14&subid=195&offset=10

get a quote from harveys then walk into did and they will better it -10 mins trouble and u will save -i done it when buying other stuff for the house althought harveys try to hard sell u to avoid giving the quote in writing they know at this stage what ur doing but if it saves u money its worth it -also found that the chap i was dealing with in did had more product knowledge than harveys but tbh it was lost on me -i just wanted the discount lol
