Audio Out not good December 4, 2008 D. Schuler (Boston, MA USA) I just set up my LN32A450 and the major down side it that the Audio Out can not be controlled from the remote. Thus if you use another audio system volume and mute to not work from the remote. This is a major pain and a surprise since the Audio Out was controllable from the remote with the 12 year old tube TV that the Samsung replaced. br / br /In addition, I rate the picture quality only good. However, I'll give it pass for now since I only have standard cable, no digital converter box, no HDMI cables and have not tried DVDs or HD as yet.
Excellent quality/value - but only with Samsung screen December 4, 2008 Michael Engley (Louisville, KY USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Pros: Excellent picture quality for the price. It handles 480i/p resolution sources very well, and HD sources even better (with cables of corresponding quality). You will have to pay quite a bit more to find a better picture. br / br /Cons: There is no excuse for such miserable speakers on a product costing hundreds of $. You will definitely want to use external speakers. br / br /Summary: At this size and price level (and point in time), you will not find another TV that is overall superior to the A450. Everything about it is very good to excellent (except the internal speakers). In the store, I thought maybe 32" was a bit small, but in my living room, I find it entirely sufficient. 37" would also be fine, but 40" would be overkill IMHO. I only sit 8' from the TV and am glad I didn't spend more for a larger screen. If you also don't sit very far from the TV, save yourself the money for a larger screen and spend it on high quality cables. You will not be disappointed! HOWEVER, this TV only excels with the Samsung screen. Samsung is also using cheaper quality screens from two other manufactures in at least the A450 and A550 and selling them as the same model for the same price, although there is a huge difference in screen quality! Look for the S, A, or C at the beginning of the version# on the back of the panel (please refer to my response to a user review of the 46A550 for more info: [...]. Only the S panels are made by Samsung. The A and C panels made by AU Optronics and Chi Mei Optoelectronics respectively are not worth the money. Buyer beware!

excellent picture, but December 2, 2008 Russ (Florida) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
[ASIN:B00141AYIC Samsung LN32A450 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV]], Very pleased with picture and features, however after 2 weeks a vertical line appeared on the left side of the screen. (Apparently a pixeling problem), Samsung was very reponsive in their effort to repair and replace he screen. Although a delay occured in getting the parts to the repair contractor. Now all is well.
