WOOHOO!!! Free HD
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I got this for a second home with basic cable and was delighted to find it picked up HD channels with it’s own antenna thingy. Beautiful picture and free HD. It’s paying for itself. Can’t beat that. Made me sorry I bought a 52″ Sony last year that doesn’t have the same feature. I pay $15 extra for HD. Did I mention the beautiful picture and great sound. So far I haven’t found a problem although the channel lineup took a little learning (air/Cable).
TV Not Suitable for Large Viewing Audience
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
I purchased this TV 1 month ago to replace a Sony Trinitron 32″ TV I have had for 20 years. It was still working and had the most beautiful picture! I am satisfied with this TV, but my main reason for rating this item low is because of the washed out look at off angle viewing. This TV has an awesome picture if you are sitting right in front of the TV. Stand off even a foot and it washes out immediately.
PROS: No sound problems; good price, easy set up
CONS: Washed out off angle viewing, lag time on start up
If I had known about the off angle viewing problem I would not have purchased this TV for my living room, maybe for my bedroom. When you have company only 1 person is getting the incredible picture that this TV does have. I also find it amazing that only 1 other reviewer mentioned this problem. But once again, for the price, with the Blu Ray DVD player and free shipping, it was a decent purchase for a bedroom (maybe). Oh and I did not get white glove service, they did unpack the TV and plug it in and left me with the clean up mess and hook up to do.
NOT 1080P
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
We sent it back, buy the 1080p….It is worth the extra money. those of you that say ” you can’t see the difference in 720p and 1080p on this size TV are full of BS!
Excellent Controls Interface
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I bought this TV for my Dad. Easy to use controls and not a lot of what you don’t need. DTV easily connects and start up is fast. The 32 inch screen seems a little small if you are used to bigger screens and big viewing rooms. Overall, it’s a good TV. 1080i/720p is ample. Price is excellent, and the free shipping, free Blu-Ray player, and no tax makes it a best-buy. 4 stars, for a 4 stars class TV.
Amazing TV

This is my first HDtv and was not expecting the difference to be so noticeable. Just watching the HD channels on cable you can easily see the difference in sharpness and contrast. This is not just for sports but everything. If you have a PS3, this is a must. Has made me go back to play old games just because they look so beautiful.
Warning.. Out of the box the settings are not quite optimal, and it does make standard digital broadcasts look pretty bad, but it definitely benefited from calibrating. You can either search for someone else’s settings on google or use a calibration device.
good tv

The delivery came a day later than Amazon’s website claimed (I bought during one of those buy on day X to guarantee delivery on day Y deals), but that wasn’t a big deal.
Overall the TV is nice. As other reviews mentioned, the color needs lots of adjusting at start up and there’s a lag every time the TV is turned on, but neither of these is a major drawback. As advertised, there are lots of a/v ports, the picture quality for TV shows is great at smaller sizes (zoom isn’t very crisp), although it’s excellent when playing DVDs at full screen.
Great TV!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I’ve had this TV for a month, and it is a great TV! The picture quality is excellent, the colors are spot on, and with the high dynamic contrast ratio the picture is bright. The base was easy to attach, and installation and setup were easy. I checked that the sound worked, but then I turned it down and use my home entertainment system, so I have no comment about the sound quality.
Best TV i’ve Every Had!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This TV is sooo much better than the Samsung ln40a550 television i had before I purchased from Amazon. I am Very Happy with this Television. I bought it on Monday and the Television was delivered that Friday. Eventhough the TV is 720p it does a great job of standard definition. And I even found that my local cable company offers a few 1080i channels (which look absolutely fantasic! Overall i am VERY VERY happy with the TV.
Pros-
great picture
video games(xbox360) look awesome!
Cable (standard and High Def) look great!
Easy PC hookup
On/Off/Volume/Source buttons are more detailed and easier to use. (Brail-like buttons)
I like the side that the component box is on/ easy access to hdmi/component
Great Bang for the Buck!
Cons-
Volume is sort of shallow/sensitive.(speakers are in the back)
Setup was harder than needed to be.
The red tint is sort of difficult to see at the bottom of the screen.
Nothing Major.
Overall I love this TV, and after my last samsung’s screen was shattered (THESE SCREENS ARE VERY SENSITIVE PEOPLE) i was happy to find out that a 32 720 was all i needed for my small bedroom. I play alot of video games and watch alot of NBC HD on it and am really happy with the picture quality. And honestly the tv does a decent job with just standard (480i) definition/Better than most imo. Great TV, and def. worth the price I paid for it!
nice TV

Samsung LN32N is a nice TV. All my family like it. The deal is smooth and shipping is two days ahead of the estimate. So, I recommend the TV and Amazon dealer.
Wow!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I can not tell you all the technical details and why this Televsion has such a great picture, I can just tell you that it does! I have never been a big tv watcher, but ever since my husband had this Samsung installed in our family room. I can’t stop watching it. The picture is simply brilliant! Now i am ruined though as I will never be able to watch regular TV again!
Affordable and Great Quality TV
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
PROS: Good Value. Great Brand. Stylish
CONS: Cheap Remote(I thought). Mines makes a noise when it’s off!! (Not a huge deal but still).
amazing tv…
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
outside of some second thoughts on the SIZE of the tv (wishing i’d sprung for a 40″)…
this tv is near-perfect. clear, well-defined image, great design.
i compared it to others at the local best buy (sony, sharp, LG were in my sights).
went with this samsung, and am happy. (now if only tv SHOWS were better!)
Nice Tv but not quite has a few flaws!!!
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Ok I have been looking at the LN32B360 for months now. Walmart usually has it between 420.00-448.00, which isn’t bad. The Sony 32″ equivalant always runs $100.00 more than the Samsung. So, finally I go in there today to buy it and they jack up the price $50.00 more to $498.00 the same price as the Sony 32″ equivalant!!! So I try to tell a manger to give me the tv for the $450 it normally runs and he says no and to check online. I go online and the tv is the $448 it should be, but I have to order it online and wait to pick it up in the store!? Why can’t the darn price be the same online as in the store. I guess that makes too much sense! So Walmart didn’t get my cash. I considered Amazon, they do a good job emailing me tv offers as they can clearly see I have been browsing them. However, Amazon’s price is in stone, what you see on the screen is what it is! So I went to HHGregg electronics where I know they haggle a bit! They sold me the new model up LN32B460 for $462.64! Thats like $71.86 less than Amazon’s current $534.00. So you do the math. I feel I got a great deal.
Now onto the advantages of this tv. I like the 50,000:1 Contrast over the model I was going to get at 30,000:1
Response time is better at 6ms opposed to the previous model 8ms. Finally you gain a third hdmi over the previous model. Nice to have an extra one, but it’s silly to have it on the side of the tv. Who wants wires hanging out of thier tv’s side input? As for the Cons, there are a few. One is this touch of color crap, Samsung seems hell bent on making people get this. It’s a faint touch of red that you can barely see on the tv’s bottom and the tv’s stand. It doesn’t illuminate or add anthing to the tv. And why red? Maybe if it was blue I’d like it. The old model was plain Black and I’d have preferred this tv be plain Black too. Samsung is just persistant, and putting this red touch of color on allot of thier higer end tv’s. So congratulations Samsung you forced me to get it! Next I don’t like that they have done away with the S-Video input, not even one. I don’t have a second HD satellite box for this tv, but the S-video output is on the standard cable box. So I could get a better picture from the tv had it. Instead I have to hook it up with a crappy coax. So I can’t review how this tv performs with HD service yet. So all in all this is a top notch tv. The best you can get unless you want to pay another bill for the Sony. Styling is beautiful, slick, sleek, like a sports car. And the picture quality is outstanding! Thats what you buy a tv for ultimateley anyway.
Great picture, lousy sound
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Picture is as good as it gets. Sound is bad, and I’m not too picky about internal speaker quality. The speakers buzz when there is any substantial bass resonance. I’m going to have to hook up external speakers. I initially gave this tv 5 stars before I realized the buzzing issue. I’d downgrade it if I could.
Great TV! Would give it 10 stars if I could.

We’ve had this TV for 3 weeks, and it is great. We opted for the 720p based on the fact that we do not have or plan on getting a Blu-ray player and our cable TV is not broadcast in 1080p. We read reviews that the sound is iffy – this has not been a problem on ours. It sounds great, and the base is solid. The buttons are touch buttons on the front of the TV, and they are cool. This TV has easily accessible RCA cable input jacks on the side, and many more on the back. During the autoscan, it picked up many channels we didn’t even know we could get. 16×12 living room – 32″ is more than adequate.
This TV looks great. You do not need 1080p for a basic TV viewing experience.
