Best Value - Great Picture - Great Deal!
Reviewed by Dan the Man (Proud owner of an LCD TV) (Practical, Tech Savvy) from Mission Viejo, CA on Apr 17, 2007
Verified Reviewer
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
I shopped this, scrapped it, went back and read the reviews, much like I assume you are doing now. The problem with technology is that the next best thing is always around the corner. I went to [...] after I had my heart settled on this TV. The TV guy there told me I had gotten the best TV for the money (they didn't carry it) and that the next model up was essentially a computer monitor not a TV. I wanted the highest contrast I could get and this TV is perfect for that. It hangs in my bedroom and is the perfect size. [...]. [...] I love my TV.
Pros: Great Picture, Attractive Design, Reduced Glare, Fast Setup
Best Uses: Home, High Definition, Video, Movies, hd tv and movies
Cons: Remote Control

This LCD smokes the competitors
Reviewed by Mike (Tech Savvy) from Livermore, CA on Oct 03, 2006
Verified Reviewer
This is with out a dought the best LCD on the market. It looks awesome, there are no little speaker holes to look at on the front of the TV, the analog picture is great and the the HD picture is spectacular. If you get another brand you are wasting your time and money. Samsung is the only one that has a 6000:1 contrast ratio and the picture blows the competitors away. Very user friendly and the sound is wonderfull.
Pros: No little speaker holes, High Quality, Good Value, Looks second to none
Cons: None that I can find

The Best LCD HDTV on the Market
Reviewed by Tom (Tech Savvy) from Chicago, IL on Sep 22, 2006
Verified Reviewer
This HDTV has the best picture of any of the dozens of LCD HDTVs I researched. It is simple to use and setup with very intuitive control menus. The HDMI inputs provide the best picture and provide a picture alomost equal to Blue-Ray technology when used with DVD players that convert the picture to 1080i resolution. It is so much sharper then my 65" projection HDTV that I am watching it instead as my primary HDTV.
Pros: High Quality, Good Value, Durable
Cons: none whatsoever

Reviewed by Buckeye Fan (Tech Savvy) from Columbus, OH on Aug 29, 2006
Verified Reviewer
This TV has a wonderful picture, no matter where you sit to watch. I hooked everything up myself because the user's manual was easy to follow. Be sure to use HDMI cables for your cable box and DVD player. I tried both ways and the HDMI provides a superior picture. This is the best 32" HDTV on the market.
Pros: Best contrast ratio, High Quality, Good Value, 2 HDMI connections, Wide viewing angle, Color temperature control
