I just bought this TV a few weeks ago and so far so good.....I had a family member and friend who purchased the same one a few weeks back and they are happy too. I bought it at the store for $499 which I was pleased with that price. I had a 32" Westinghouse that was a little over 2 years old but had huge problems. The only thing I do not like is that when I measured the screen, it was actually a 31" inch screen which I was a little bummed about.
I was going up upgrade in size and spend a little more and I still might b/c I am still within the refund/exchange period.
Either way, it was easy to assemble, hook up and program. Samsung is a reliable product. I did however purchase the 4 year warentee just in case b/c I didn't do that for the last tv and better safe then sorry.

After two months of searching for a solid 32" HDTV for a good price, I ended up with this Samsung. The biggest challenge was finding a $500 32" that had a timer off/on feature. Most have a sleep timer, but have to be set nightly. This purchase was for the bedroom and I wanted the TV to turn itself off at night and turn itself on in the morning. While it does do that, when the TV turns on or off, it makes an annoying 'sound' like from a video game. Besides the annoying sound, it is loud enough at times to make me up when the TV turns itself off at night. AND when the TV turns itself on in the morning, it defaults to the 'Cable' connection (which nothing is connected to) not the HDMI connection which is what my Directv is connected to.
Besides these two minor issues, the TV is great. I don't have the issues the others have with the sound (maybe my hearing isn't that great). For the price, it is a great value.
What's great about it: Picture, Price, Value
What's not so great: On/Off Sound, Timer doesn't come on HDMI connection

Anyone writing a good review of this TV has probably not owned it for more than a few weeks.
Do a Google search for "Samsung Robotic Audio LN32A330" and you will find tons of nightmare stories from people just like me, can't go more than 5 minutes without the audio on HD channels sounding like a robot, and then correcting itself after a few seconds.
I bought this tv for X-mas, and exchanged it in January. The new tv worked like a dream until 3 weeks later the audio started sounding distorted just like the old tv. Apparently, the only way to fix it is to do a factory reset every time it happens (every day)....but when you spend $550 on a t.v., the thin should work right.
After reading several message forums and review columns, it seems that this issue is unique to this model and also the series 4 model of 32 inch tv. I used to have a 22 inch, and it never had a sound issue.
Gee, I wonder why this item is on sale. :/
Samsung products are usually very good, but from other user reviews, it seems like these 32 inch LCDs have a design flaw in the tuner.
I'm very upset about this, and I will be taking this tv back tomorrow morning and buying an LG.
What's great about it: Size and Picture
What's not so great: Glitchy Robotic Audio Issue
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Best TV for the price..thought about getting the cheaper dynex one but compared to the samsung the dynex is a golf cart and the samsung is a benz. This TV is awesome. I did my homework and searched other places and prices. Save yourself some time reading about other Tvs and buy this one!
What's great about it: Excellent quality and picture is perfect. Easy to hook up
What's not so great: Wasn't buy one get one free

tv comes with no svideo port, dont buy for tv viewing. Normal HD channels look UNREAL amazing, BLUE RAY looks HOLY WOW AMAZING...normal channels like cartoon network or Encore movie channels are below VHS quality. ANY station that does not broadcast in HD will look like the worst thing you have EVER seen, FAR below VHS quality. This is a result of an HD TV and HD cable box picking up a NON-HD signal. It will never change unless the tv stations start using HD. DO NOT buy this tv if you are looking to watch TV with Cox cable. If you are getting dish tv, you will be fine. If not, samsung and the cable stations say too bad so sad. TV doesnt have an Svideo port, so you cannot use older dvd players. Aspect ratios change automatically when you switch from an HD channel to a non HD channel. Very annoying.
What's great about it: HD channels look amazing. However normal channels like Encore look worse than VHS quality. Anything NOT in HD looks BAD
What's not so great: anything not in HD is insanely terrible quality. NO SVIDEO lol!!! cant use an older DVD player. EPIC FAILURE!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We really needed a new TV in our bedroom and this was a great choice. I bought the TV and the wall mount for less than $550.00.
What's great about it: Can't beat the price
What's not so great: Hate the tone it makes when it turns on and off

Excellent picture, sound, quality, and it's a Samsung? You can't go wrong. I was amazed with how my picture look in HD. Even with my Wii hooked to it, I can tell a difference. You can't beat the price. I've had this TV for a month now & don't have any problems. This is my first HDTV & I will not be getting rid of it anytime soon.

After doing countless hours of research and comparison shopping I decided on this tv and haven't looked back. The picture is everything I had hoped for in a LCD. The setup took only a couple of minutes and no fine tuning was needed. Even with SD reception the picture is clear and sharp. And watching DVD's on a upconverting player the picture is as good if not better than the displays in some stores. The speakers face forward so sound quality is very good. Other tv's I looked at the speakers faced downward so you really had to turn the volume up to hear normal dialogue.
What's great about it: Picture is sharp & clear, sound is very good also
What's not so great: Nothing

I originally purchased a 32 inch Vizio TV, it was very nice looking but I had problems with it and returned it. The next one had problems as well, I returned it and got another one with problems so I gave up on Vizio. I saw this Samsung online and went to look at it in the store, it has a very nice look to it, I love the glossy finish and the rotating stand. I took it home and opened it up, surprise surprise there was no picture but I had sound, I exchanged it and received one that actually works so far, I've had it 2 days and I love all the options and features it has. I feel better about purchasing from Best Buy more than the other company anyway and they had it on sale so the price was a steal, as long as it works its a great TV, no complaints with the working one. Works great for Playstation 3 and a PC monitor, also has audio out for my wireless headphones. The QAM tuner is a must! That gets you the HD channels even if you just have regular cable. If you're having a hard time choosing TV's, this one is a great choice... As long as everything works properly!
What's great about it: Sound quality, Features, Very nice looking TV
What's not so great: Nothing so far

Help I bought this last night and I haven't been able to figure out how to set it up. I want to set it up without a box first. I have an old DVD player; do I have to get a new one? I also have an ancient VCR. Can that even be hooked up? Someone please help with this. How do I set it up without the cable box? I have basic cable. I will get the box if needed.

I've been wanting to buy a hdtv for quite sometimes now, I've seen good deals of off-brand tv, but was uncertain of how satisfying would it be. and then I saw this tv and could not believe the price for a samsung! picture is incredibly vibrant, easy to navigate, to personalized, and great with movies. for 497.99 I was amazed and very much satisfied with this purchase.
What's great about it: quality brand, quality picture, and my wallet just winked at me.

Using this TV in medium sized living room. Was looking to replace a very good 26 inch flat screen, tube TV. Bought a plasma but noticed too much glare and couldn't get the picture bright enough on a sunny day. Returned it and came home with this. What a difference! No glare, great color and contrast for the price. I don't have cable but do have a good roof mounted antena. Prime-time television (CSI, American Idol, NBC world news, Today show) all look great! Does a good job on non-HD channels as well. Conected with HDMI to a panasonic DVD-R. Upconversion really does a great job creating HD like dvd picture.
The set up took about 20 minutes. Toughest part: installing the stand. Only complaint is that the stand is a bit flimsy. Perfect size TV to wall mount though. Menus are clear and simple. Endless picture adjustments. Motion blur is detectable only on the quickest of pans (during a basketball game for example). Golf, nascar, movies all look tremendous! I have a 46in 1080p samsung in basement and this picture quality is comparable for the money. I would go bigger if it's your primary entertainment TV. But, this size is great for smaller, more formal rooms or bedrooms.
What's great about it: Picture Quality, Ease of Use
What's not so great: Motion Blur
