Samsung LN32A450 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV

This has been one of the best purchases that I have ever made. This product lives up to all of its hype and then some.
For instance, the TV picks up 'movie channels' and other HD channels that I have never paid for, nor will pay for. How this process happens, I have no idea. The computer program in the TV has a mind of its own, absolutely unbelievable!!!

I purchased the TV for $599 on amazon. The picture is crystal clear without calibration, but should be slightly tweaked for optimal viewing. The only qualm I have with the TV is that it takes about 5-7 seconds to power up. Not a fatal flaw since most new TVs take about 3-5 seconds, but still annoying.

Have absolutely no problems with this tv. It's excellent. I was worried that the coating on the screen would cause glare, but I am happy to report there is absolutely no glare. The image quality is excellent, even in non-HD channels.

Definitely shop around for the best price. In Circuit City store it was close to $900. On Amazon it was $600 - exact same tv. Arrived in a few days from Amazon. Easy to set up and hook up to cable, vcr, dvd, etc.

Definitely recommend it.

We bought this 32" for our small media room and are delighted with the result. We coupled it with an inexpensive Coby 5.1 DVD player and the cheapest 5.1 speaker set here on Amazon and built an ace home theater system for ¢¢¢ not $$$. Perfect for the 200 sq foot space.

We also coupled it to a Linux box (a recycled Dell Dimension 2300) and it gives crystal clear DIVX movies and general images, web-tv, BBC iPlayer - everything we've thrown at it. MPG and AVI movies are fine too. Note that it requires a male-male video cable rather than a standard computer to monitor (male-female) cable - that cost us a $12.00 trip to Staples, and it also needs a male-male (plug-plug) PC stereo audio cable - another $8.00 trip to RadioShack.

The delivery service to CT was perfect. Guy delivered it to our house, connected it up in the kitchen - did a power and cable check before he left. I couldn't have asked for more.

After much research, we bought the Samsung LN32A450 for our breakfast/kitchen area. Other LCD brands we looked into were Panasonic, Toshiba, and Sharp. They're all very close and comparable to each other but there's something about the image in Samsung that's different from the others. This is after extensive side-by-side comparison from the big box stores.
Our viewing distance from the TV range from 8 feet (breakfast table) to 12 feet (kitchen island). It definitely looks very nice and ample size for those distance. It was our first time ordering an LCD TV online thru amazon.com and the various reviews on CEVA was definitely a concern but we decided to give it a try anyways. We have to say that the product arrived 2 days before the expected delivery date (arrived on 10/28 instead of 10/30). Aside from the 8AM to 3PM delivery window, CEVA was great. They came in opened up the box, and set it up in front of you. Setup was very easy; from the box, it asked for language preference, and source of image feed, then VOILA, you can start going through the SD channels. It took CEVA about 15 minutes between unpacking the box to setting up the TV. After they left, we went through the Setup menu and had the TV look for HD signals (the TV is plugged to the wall, e.g. we don't have an HD box) The search took about 20 minutes, and now, the TV shows both SD and HD channels. Best 20 minutes you can ever invest. Both SD and HD images are spectacular. Sound is also clear, vibrant and loud. We have it in the 30s range (out of 100) for a 23'X13' kitchen/breakfast area.
We do have it mounted on the wall which eliminates the base, and therefore may have reduced any obstacles from the speakers since they're facing down towards the base. The wall bracket we used was the Chief MWR-VB. Amazon.com shows that TheNerds.Net as the store that actually sells the item. TheNerds.Net also gets the product from another vendor. Item took about 2 weeks altogheter to arrive. The mount is actually a bit overkill for the TV, but the mount provides certain advantage such as, the "I" frame structure, which allowed us to install the electric and cable outlets to the left side of the "I" (when mount is facing you). This minimizes any wires that may stick out. The middle of the frame is also adjustable to provide you with a perfect center of the TV on the wall. The overall depth between the wall and the outer-most tip of the screen is 6.75 inches. Overall, ordering from amazon.com for the price and CEVA's white glove service worked well for us.
