I've never owned a Samsung product, and have normally purchased Sony products. However, due to price increases by Sony, I decided to consider options. My satellite installer stated that Samsung & Sony were considered to be two of the highest rated HD t.v.'s.
I have nothing but highest praise for my Samsung! Extremely sharp color,focus, and excellent surround sound!
The only problem I had was the shipping company was two days late on the deliverey date.

I have been a loyal SONY fan for decades, I bought this Samsung for the bedroom thinking I was downgrading and I would save alittle money. To my surprise it is my Best TV of the 6 in my house! Picture quality and features blow me away. Time will tell if it is as durable. I am glad I ventured out.

I really like this tv so far after owning it for a few weeks now. I recieved this tv because of a warrenty replacement for my Samsung LN32A550. My old tv was making a lot of weird noises and was disturbing my sleep since it was placed in my bedroom. Any way Samsung replaced it finally. This new tv has a much better picture and sound then the previous one. My old tv was A model which I am told is the middle type of panel. This new one is a S model, so I think that has some thing to do with picture being much better on this on. THis tv also has 4 times as much dynamic contrast ratio. My old one had 15,000 contrast ratio and this new one has 60,000. Although the overall design, picture and sound quality is better in this new one, there are a lot of features that Samsung took out from the 2008 (A model) which I really liked. The LN32A550 had picture in picture, headphone jack, lighted remote and a usb port of picture and music files. Also the older model also had 2 component inputs and a 5ms response time. The new tv doesnt have any of these features. It has only 1 component input and the response time is now 6ms. Oveall great tv. I think the new model is also lighter then the older one. It also has square shaped swivel stand and there no inputs on the side. I do wish the 2009 (b model) had some of the older features like the extra component input, picture in picture and the usb port for music and picture files. This tv also blows the competetion away, especially when compared to the Sony KDL-32S5100. I got a chance to try this tv out since I was offered it as a choice for my warrenty replacment from the retailer where I orginally purchased my Samsung TV. Ive got to say the picture and sound on it were no where near this new Samsung tv. The blacks are so much darker and the colors are a lot more vibrant and bright. I am really glad I stuck with Samsung in the end. Samsung really gives you a good deal for what you pay for.

This TV is great with HDMI sources. I'm having some trouble with my standard def cable. The whole image keeps tilting from right to left and left to right, happends like once in 3 mins. This only happens when I use the composite (Yellow, red and white) cables. When I connect something to the TV using the HDMI inputs, it works flawlessly. So I dont know whats the deal with it. Doesn't matter anyways, because I'm getting HD cable soon and it'll use a HDMI input instead of standard low def cable.

In other areas this TV is great! The picture quality is awesome! Very nicely packaged in the manufacture box. The remote is kinda huge, but its not a problem. So yeah, you should totally buy it, For the great price this TV definitely delivers.

Pros: Fast delivery, set up was easy, crispy and beautiful picture. Hooked it to a bose sound system sounds great. Have had it for 4 weeks now, it is flawless.
Cons: none so far

Incredible! I read so much about LCD and visited many retailers that had this product and the competing products. So in the showroom I got to see the pictures side by side. It was very apparent immediately that the Samsung picture was far superior to all of the other LCD TVs in its class. I thought perhaps it had something to do with the signal or the settings of the television so I was a little skeptical. To my delight, the TV was everything that I hoped for. First of all the picture is outstanding. The blacks are dark black the whites are pure white and all of the colors same as vivid as reality. Since it has a built in QAM tuner, I was able to plug it in to my coaxial cable from my wall and tune 100 stations including the high definition channels. Setup was easy by choosing the automatic option and it found all of the stations at once. Even the standard definition stations looked far superior than they did on my old set. Since this TV was specifically for my bedroom where I had no cable box I promptly ordered a set top box to receive high definition broadcasts . It is truly amazing, of the picture is much better than my 46 inch living room LCD by a different manufacturer. Noticeably superior. The only negative I can say about this TV is that the speakers are very mediocre, but in so much that this is a 1080p flat panel it is presumed that you will hook it up to an exterior sound device. So you should. The picture quality is stunning from corner to corner; if you will be amazed. I am so pleased with this purchase. As you can see in the other reviews the TV has all the hookups that you can imagine. Three HDMI, component, and coaxial. It has an exterior digital output options, but lacks USB and film card inputs. No big deal. I have connected this TV to my PC of via and HDMI cable and can watch bluRay movies that play on my PC. I cannot imagine a single thing that I would add to this TV if I designed it myself.

Great TV - everything I need and more - great picture, options are easy to use. Cannot go wrong. 32" is a little small - 37" or 40" would be better.

After much research and shopping, I decided to go with this television. I am quite impressed with my decision. The television is GORGEOUS. I think the piano black color looks very classy and I personally prefer that over the other Samsung tvs which have that red touch of color. This tv has outstanding picture quality. Even the SD broadcasts do not look that bad on this tv. Sound quality is decent but I hear to get the best audio, set up a surround sound speaker system. For now I am happy with the speakers on the set itself. I have only had this tv for a few weeks now and I am very happy with my purchase. Samsung is the best in LCD tvs (in my opinion) these days. I recommend this tv!

I have 3 LCD HDTVs, all different sizes and makes. The Samsung probably has the best picture (without putting them side by side) amazing color. Great picture, both analog and digital, through cable. Great remote layout. Good menu and easy setup, takes about 20 minutes for the auto channel setup, which seems about average. Would not hesitate to buy another Samsung. TV was delivered on time and excellently packaged.
Cons: none.

This is my second Samsung. The first one was a 27 incher, my first HDTV. I bought it for my bedroom and I was a little ignorant about sizes. Since the prior tube TV had been a 19 inch I thought 27 would be large enough. I really liked the 27 incher but wanted a larger screen. So I bought the 32 inch in the same brand, since I was very happy with the features, images and general workings of the first. Soon after I got a Samsung Blu Ray player. This combination is terrific for watching DVD's, even those not Blu Ray. My only quibble is that it does not digitally enlarge the screen for some shows that get broadcast in little hi res boxes.
