Great Product, Great Delivery, Great Price July 6, 2008
The Samsung LN32A450 delivers on its promises of brightness, color depth and accuracy, wide viewing angles, flexible connection options, and more. When you read the manual, and look through the setup screens, you'll find an amazing range of adjustments to the picture quality, operation, and features that should suit any application or personal taste.
I chose this model instead of the entry-level LN32A330, which has lower contrast and speed specs, and fewer connection options, but costs nearly as much (at the current Amazon price, anyway). What a great decision this has turned out to be.
I'll get to the viewing experience, but I have to comment on the Amazon "white glove" delivery via CEVA logistics, because I felt it was a big unknown factor when I ordered. Well, it was relatively painless to schedule -- and like other reviewers, the package moved much faster than originally predicted. On the appointed day, the delivery guy came to our home, carried the box inside, unpacked it and set it up. He'd have done all the work of hooking it up, if I had let him. Wow.
Speaking of hooking it up, I am very glad to have 3 HDMI inputs, since I've already got two of them in use and may want expansion options in the future. It has a full range of connection options on the side of the set, as well as the main bank of connectors on the back panel. I've already found the side connectors handy for plugging in a camcorder, etc.
You can connect legacy devices via regular RCA or S-video jacks, or even by the coax connector (whose main purpose would be for a cable box or over-the-air antenna). Other reviewers here have discussed the over-air reception of regular or HDTV; I haven't tried it yet.
I have an upconverting DVD player that puts out 720p from a conventional DVD, and when hooked up to this set, with a widescreen movie, the result is fantastic. Watching HD channels on cable TV is good -- I'm still getting over the "Wow" effect after upgrading from an old TV, so I'm slowly becoming pickier. But not about the TV.
My concern now is whether the cable signal is really giving me everything the set can handle. There are motion artifacts on cable TV shows that I do *not* see from DVDs, for example, which is why I blame the signal source, and not this set.
I have to say, the built-in speakers are pretty wimpy compared to our old TV, but it's not enough of a factor, for my purposes, to take off points for that. I generally watch movies through the stereo, and for regular TV shows the internal speakers are adequate. The set can feed other devices through audio-out connectors, including external amplifiers and speakers. This is just one more example of the amazing connectivity of this set.
Thanks to Amazon's 30-day price guarantee, I'm pretty sure that I could not have bought this elsewhere for less money, and certainly not with the level of confidence and customer support that I get here.
One last issue that is often overlooked. This TV comes with a one-year warranty on everything, not just parts. On the 32-inch model, the service is *in your home*, not carry-in. And if you use the right credit card, you can double that warranty to two full years. Many/most competing TV sets do not offer that kind of confidence in their products.
Nice TV, great bedroom size July 1, 2008

Bought this TV for the bedroom and have to say its perfect. Had been looking at 2007 models and when the new models came out and the prices finally dropped I decided to pull the trigger. Has plenty of inputs and the picture is very nice, even on Standard Def satellite and DVD's. Overall very happy with the purchase.

This TV is very bright and is very suitable in room with lot of light. The picture quality is excellent. HDMI input is slow. When you change source to HDMI, it takes few seconds before picture comes on. Like also the feature that Tv can swivel on the stand. Overall, excellent 32" LCD HDTV.
Great quality! June 30, 2008

We feel we got the best possible deal on this TV ($767) and it is everything we'd hoped for! We use the TV in our bedroom and were concerned about the sound quality as we of course don't have surround in our bedroom. The sound is wonderful for a bedroom application and the picture looks nearly as good as our 46" 1080p Samsung in the family room. Very pleased!
