5.0 out of 5 stars
I guess third time was the charm, June 18, 2008
I've been through 3 t.v.'s so far. The first t.v. I bought was my first HDTV ever but the picture was just not that good. I felt like it wasn't a good upgrade from SDTV. The second t.v. I bought had a really good HD picture and an acceptable SD picture, but no matter what I watched the picture was always dark for some reason even if I increased the brightness or contrast. That t.v. also lacked the inputs I needed for different things like my cable box, game systems, etc.
After deciding to give it one more shot, I stumbled upon this t.v. with it's great specs and many inputs. I have to say that this t.v. has excelled my expectations. From Standard definition channels to High definition channels, this t.v. is a winner. It is so bright even during the daytime (funny how others mentioned this too lol) and it has those inputs that I wanted. So far I've played my Xbox 360 on this t.v. and the picture cannot be beaten. The picture is so crisp and clear that it puts those other t.v.'s I had to shame. Oh and about the picture being dark, it can't be. I only have the settings on the "Game Mode" that this t.v. has and I can see every detail there is in the games. I haven't even brought up the brightness or contrast yet and there is no need for it! There is even an option in the menu to make dark scenes even more clear!
The sound on this t.v. is also good. I thought I had my surround sound speakers on when using the t.v. but I actually was using the t.v. speakers and yes they were that loud at a low volume setting. So here is how I sum it up:
VIDEO: 10 out of 10
I have not yet been disappointed with the SD or HD picture of this t.v. Whites are white, blacks are black.
AUDIO: 10 out of 10
If something ever happened to my surround sound speakers, I wouldn't care because it will be like they never broke.
INPUTS: 9 out of 10
It's nice that they're 3 HDMI inputs but I wish there was a second component input. But since everything is going HDMI these days, this is not a problem.
PRICE: 10 out of 10
I've seen this t.v. going for up to $899 but I bought it for $699. What a steal at this price.
OVERALL: 10 out of 10
Finally I have found the t.v. that I have been looking for all this time. I had to wait until 2008 to get it, but it was definitely worth the wait. If you have been waiting to get an HDTV, then now is the time to get it. You won't be disappointed.

Great buy, August 8, 2008
I was looking for a new bedroom TV and decided on a 32" LCD. As I already own a 42" Toshiba Regza for the Living Room, I wasn't all that worried about having 1080p for the bedroom model.
I shopped around for this one a lot and could not decide between Sony, Samsung or Panasonic. After 2 trips to Best Buy, I decided the Samsung probably had a bit more vivid color and a swivel base. I ended up purchasing the Panasonic, however because the Samsung seemed to be less "solid" in construction and the Sony was about $100 more with what appeared to be a worse picture quality.
I've had the TV for a little over a month and it has been flawless. I actually think it has a better picture than my 42" Toshiba. It was very easy to setup, pulled it out of the box, plugged it in and went through a very user friendly setup. I like how the speaker is hidden, and is of surprisingly good sound for an LCD.
My only potential complaint is if I ever decided to mount it on the wall, the base is pretty weird in pulling off, which requires you to tip the screen on it's side.

Best TV I've ever owned, June 18, 2008
I was really surprised at how good this TV is. The picture is perfect, no matter what kind of lighting is in the room, from full daylight to dim nighttime. It comes on quickly, and the automatic channel programming is just about flawless. The onscreen menu lets you control everything to set your preferences as desired. The HD programming (broadcast over the air) is just awesomely crisp and clear.
