Date: 2010-01-07 Good value We bought this TV more than 1 year ago. It is still going strong, it has a fairly good picture and was easy to connect with our Dish network and DVD. We use it as a second TV. Date: 2009-12-29 So happy I bought this TV This TV replaced a 32" CRT Sony that was 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 the 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 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 settings were a bit overwhelming to me though. I might buy 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. Date: 2009-12-28 So far, very good 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. Date: 2009-12-27 excellent unit 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. Date: 2009-12-26 Wonderful lcd tv for an incredibly great price. Look no further. 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! * Price is subject to change. |
