Nice but still has view angle problems Apr 02, 2010 Blacks directly in front are very good, but dark colors and grays lighten up considerably from just a slight angle. Some detail seems to be lost in near black portions of the picture. Overall picture is very bright with rich color. No S-video input, don't know why they left that out. Slightly more overscan than some other brands.

Wow! Wow! Wow! Mar 23, 2010 My wife and I bought two Sony Bravia HDTVs through Amazon. We were very unimpressed and disappointed, and sent both back. I kept hearing about how" Samsung blows Sony away, including from a buddy at work (who's girlfriend bought one and raves about it). After reading reviews online, we bought two of the 32" Samsungs. We hooked them up yesterday (I should say after years of Direct TV, we just switched to Veriozon FIOS, which is FAR superior).
I had to post this 24 hours later because I am BLOWN AWAY with the quality of these units, and the resulting smooth as ice picture quality.
Pros: 1. Set up was incredibly easy. The directions are great, to include setting up the remotes. Simply a snap.
2. The picture is the best I have ever seen anywhere. I watching ESPN HD right now, and I joked with my wife that I don't remember seeing games in person looking this clear and crisp. WOW!
3. The sound is fantastic.
4. To expand on above, the TV set up with the universal remote that comes with the HD Set Top Box from Verizon FIOS, merged like peanut butter and jelly. No problems at all.
I cannot rate this any higher.
Cons: NONE period. I love everything about these. Samsung, you have a new customer.
great value Mar 18, 2010 after months of research, I settled on this TV because I knew Amazon would back me 100%. The shipping was timely, and the tv arrived in perfect condition. The set up was average and my family was enjoying their favorite shows in no time. The sound is great and the picture quality very good. There are several settings to choose from. My only complaint is that it stretches the picture sideways a bit but with all the other pros, not many grumbles have ensued.

Near perfect Mar 14, 2010 This set had all the features I wanted. I needed to replace my old 27inch JVC CRT TV with a 32inch LCD. Aside from being a bit wider, it occupies about the same amount of space. Samsung wasn't the first brand I looked at but after reading great reviews on picture quality and reliability I went with them. This set has 3 HDMI inputs, VGA input, component, as well as composite. The next model up provides another composite video input on the side and claims to have a better picture. There is no s-video input. The nicest feature is the analog audio output - plain vanilla left and right. I don't have any plans to add a digital 5.1 digital THX certified sound system in my bedroom. I have a pair of bookshelf speakers and a low-end stereo receiver. While the set has digital audio out, I just needed slightly better sound which this provided easily.
The HD resolution does not disappoint. The colors are vivid and natural. The first issue I had was that there didn't seem to be enough contrast and the blacks weren't that black. I was wondering if I should have gone one model higher since the picture looked a little washed out. I tried the backlight, brightness, and contrast settings but was still feeling a little unsatisfied. Fear not! I found the 'Advanced Settings' and tweaked the picture to total perfection.
The next gotcha comes from the cable company. To view a cablebox with HDMI outputs you need a 'special' tuner. And I was unable to view any of the channels without a box on my old JVC after we switched to digital television. The cable company requires another type of 'special' tuner to view unscrambled channels directly, which is required if I want to take advantage of the on-timers to wake up to the news in the morning. I selected automatic channel setup on the Samsung and it took care of everything - proving it to be slightly smarter than I am. The HDMI input worked and it discovered channels which I can access without a box which I never knew I had. Very impressive. It found analog, digital, and alternate programming channels then began filling in the channel names as they became available. Another nice feature was the on-timer which I could set to only come on during weekdays.
There are subtle nice features which I appreciate as well. The message for 'No Signal' moves around the screen so it doesn't cause screen burn-in. It remembers the picture size for channels, even when going through the HDMI input. And there are two zoom and pan modes plus stretching and filling options switch between all the available picture formats. You still need to watch for screen burn-in according to the manual so fill the screen with the picture whenever possible.
Watching a full 1080i animated feature on this set was the next best thing to 3D. I thought the characters were going to jump out of the screen. The reverse is true as well. If you're still watching old VHS tapes on this set you will see what you've been missing i.e. you can never go home again.

Consumer Reports Says Buy Your HDTV at Amazon!
Washington, D.C. (October 31, 2008) -- When it comes to price, Consumer Reports says shoppers are most likely to find the best deals online. And the publication called three ecommerce sites "standouts" in this year's Consumer Reports ratings of electronics stores: Amazon.com, Crutchfield.com and B&H (bhphotovideo.com)
The magazine's survey was based on more than 38,000 purchases of electronics, including flat-screen TVs, between January 2007 and June 2008. The report indicated that online stores consistently offered better prices. (The magazine's full report can be found in its December 2008 issue.)
"Buying online can be better," the magazine said in a press release. "The higher-rated electronics retailers in Consumer Reports annual reader survey are Web sites. Readers who bought online rated their overall satisfaction at 90 out of 100 -- higher than those who bought in a store. Additionally, many Web merchants offer free shipping, even on TVs, which could spare the hassle of struggling to fit a bulky carton in the car or paying a local store for delivery."
Consumer Reports said that while no single retailer scored excellent in all shopping categories, Amazon.com and Crutchfield.com came closest.
