I bought this TV at the end of December with the idea that it would be a bedroom or study room TV and it has more than exceeded expectations visually. Calibration is everything and once it was done properly, it looked great for broadcast TV, DVD's and a Wii. If you are not a calibration pro, as I am not, finding good starting points for settings can be found online by searching for calibration settings for this Samsung. Fine tune to taste. The PC input has worked acceptably for streaming video sources, too. The only downside has been the audio. The sound out of the built in TV speakers is ok, but I was really disappointed to find that the digital optical output does not send a 5.1 surround signal to my stereo receiver- this makes watching broadcast HD shows slightly less enjoyable. All things considered, though, its been a great purchase!
What's great about it: Picture quality is great, price was fair
What's not so great: Audio is lacking
I would recommend this to a friend!

This TV has a beautiful picture but I was unpleasantly surprised at how bad the audio sounds. No matter how it's adjusted, it just sounds flat and muddy. I guess that is the drawback of making a television that is only a few inches thick. I bought the set for my wife and she doesn't want the clutter of 5.1 speakers all over her TV room so I had to go with a sound bar, which greatly improved the sound.
What's great about it: Beautiful picture
What's not so great: Terrible audio
I would recommend this to a friend!

We paid about $1200 for this tv a couple of years ago and about 1 year ago it started to hesitate when we turned it on. Then t began making a clicking noise for a couple of minutes before it came on. Now, it clicks for about 30 minutes before it turns on. Once it is on, it works well. I have called around to get quotes on fixing it and it will cost several hundred dollars. Samsung and best buy warranties have expired. Basically, it is more economical to buy a new tv. Save your money and buy another tv.
What's great about it: Picture is good
What's not so great: TV won't turn on
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

If you don't need the extras, like pip or internet widgets, this basic Samsung does the job for the same price as as a 32 inch Westinghouse cost a few years ago. The only weak area would be the internal speakers. You really need an external sound system, or home theater in a box to round it out, but then that's probably the case for just about any tv these days.
What's great about it: excellent contrast, detail
What's not so great: sound is mediocre
I would recommend this to a friend!

Amazing TV, especially for the price. I rated sound a 4, but that's only because I'm going to purchase a surround sound system. For an average household that just needs a tv, the sound is perfect.
I chose Samsung because they're a very good company. I also have a smaller Samsung computer monitor 22'' as well as another 32'' Samsung television.
What's great about it: Picture, Quality, Samsung, Price, Size
What's not so great: Nothing

Got this TV on Superbowl Sunday (how cliche are we?) The game looked just OK. I called our cable provider (realizing that cable box had sound issues - thought it was old TV, but had same issues w/ new one) and they came out with an HDMI cord, an updated cable box and programmed the TV for me. We pay for HD box/service, so I guess that's why we got the cord... anyways, with the new box/cord, the picture is PERFECT. Don't pay for an HDMI cord if you have HD service through your cable provider - they'll give you one. If you don't have an issue that requires a service call, you can go to a cable service center and pick up a cord. It DOES make a HUGE difference. Before cable guy came out, my husband was ready to return the TV, now he (and I!) LOVE it!
What's great about it: Fantastic picture, good price
What's not so great: probably will need to invest in a sound bar sound system
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is an excellent TV. You will need to upgrade to HD TV if you don't already have the service or the picture will not display the way it's supposed to. Looks great on a black glass TV stand if not installing on a wall. The new slimline TV's all need a better sound system source, so I will eventually get a soundbar or home theater system to boost things up, however it's decent without one. Love my Samsung!
What's great about it: Great picture, stylish, doesn't take up alot of room
What's not so great: Needs a sound bar or home theater if you want great sound
I would recommend this to a friend!
