This TV replaced a 32" CRT Sony that is a few years old. I bought this TV when the Amazon price was $439.00 (December 16, 2009). I did pay WA sales tax of $36.01. I hate paying sales tax when ordering online, don't you? I selected free shipping and received it on December 18th. I was surprised by how quickly I received it.
I spent a month reading reviews of TVs and even made a master list where I used the process of elimination to figure out which TV brand I wanted (OCD). I was tempted to get a Vizio but I read too many negative reviews of their TVs. Samsung has the best overall quality and customer service based on BBB website and customer reviews. I would've gotten a 1080p 32" TV but all of the knowledgeable people I spoke with online told me that there would be be no noticeable difference at 32" size with 1080p. They said it's not worth it until you get to 42" size. I would research that aspect before you make an LCD TV purchase.
The box arrived in near mint condition. There was a slight indent in the box but there was no damage to the TV. I'm sure that I'm noticing too much but I actually was really happy there was a handle on top of the box. That really makes moving it in the future a breeze. The TV is aesthetically pleasing, very sleek and modern looking.
Setting up the TV is extremely easy. I didn't hang the TV up, I just put it on its stand. I plugged in my Comcast HD cable box via HDMI, hooked up the DVD player, and plugged in the TV. I popped in my "Aliens" DVD and the picture looked really crisp and clean.
I can't speak about pixels and all the other technical aspects of the TV. I just know that the picture is really good. Perhaps since I've had a CRT all my life I'm too impressed with the picture. The setting were a bit overwhelming to me though. I'm considering buying a calibration disc to adjust the picture settings.
I would absolutely recommend this TV. I'm so glad I listened to the reviewers at Amazon and I'm glad they posted helpful and insightful information about the TV.

Our old CRT TV flatlined today so we decided it was time to get a new widescreen format TV. I couldn't even program our TiVo without a working TV and the college bowl games are coming up so time was of the essence. We have a standard def cable box and an analog only TiVo, so HD is not important to us, but everything in the stores these days is HD. I had narrowed it down to the Panasonic and the Samsung. The Panasonic was $50 cheaper and the reviews and Consumer reports ratings were almost identical on the models I could find. When I saw that Best Buy and Amazon had virtually identical prices ($2 difference), I decided to go pick one up today rather than wait for shipping and installation from Amazon. I went there and they had the Panasonic I wanted on display, but none in stock. I started to go to another store that had them in stock, but the manager showed me this Samsung and offered to match the price of the Panasonic. We have a small Samsung in our kitchen and it's worked fine for a year now, so after testing the sound on this one and verifying that it looked good from different angles, I bought this one. It was a snap to install and my son helped me haul our big old CRT TV back to Best Buy for free recycling. The analog picture is only average, but that's to be expected; I put in a DVD and checked and I'm very happy with the digital picture and the sound. I love Amazon and especially its service, but you may want to consider doing what I did to get a better price. If any problems pop up with this one, I'll edit this review.

The only thing better than this set is the Amazon price and delivery service. I ordered this set Dec 16 and it was delivered via "standard" shipping Dec 18th! Excellent set... the picture seems almost better than the 50" 1080 samsung we bought 2 years ago... which has been trouble free btw.

I recently purchased this for my upstairs bedroom to replace my old 32" picture tube tv. All I can say is that I didn't expect it to be such an amazing difference when watching tv and dvds in bed. I already have experience with the Samsung LCDs since I bought a 46" for my living room last Christmas and I'm absolutely loving it.
Watching HD tv on this is incredible. Crystal clear. Watching DVDs is even better. I don't even have a BluRay player, however, the quality of the images on this 32" is quite amazing. For $439, I don't believe there is a better value out there. Buy and enjoy!

Beautiful picture. Attractive and sturdy.
This is "only" 720p (although it WILL accept a 1080P signal just fine) and not "120 Hz" but here are a few things to think about.
In 32", the pixel density is higher than a 52" at 1080p. Unless you use it as a computer monitor or sit very close, your eyes just can't pick up the additional detail. "120 Hz" is a buzz word and it is true that faster is better in LCDs but you need to look deeper. A low quality panel that is "120 Hz" will not be satisfactory. On the other hand, a high quality 60 Hz panel will be more than sufficient. Not to say there are not high quality 120z panels but the cost will obviously be significantly more.
In my opinion, this is a very high quality panel and spending more is a waste for the vast majority of people. I paired this with the Panasonic BD60 and the results are phenomenal. Up-scaled DVDs look gorgeous and I really don't think that you could tell the difference between Blu-ray from across the room (again, pixel density). Viewing angle is better than I expected, contrast is great, blacks are so black that you almost can't tell the difference in a dark room between the black next to the frame and the frame itself. Screen is slightly matted so reflections are manageable. Verdict is still out on the sound, these speakers are better than I was expecting but have not had it long enough to be sure if they can stand on their own in all cases (loud movie action).
It seems like there is a feature slope in televisions that it is hard to know where to buy in at. I have to admit that even after ordering this unit, I was unsure if I should have forked out a little more. After experiencing this, however, I have absolutely no regrets. I think that in a 32" it should be easy if you are able to separate yourself from the buzzword hype. Why pay for pixel density your eye literally cannot see? Even worse, why buy a "faster" panel that is poorer quality?
