 I am Extremely pleased with this t.v.....so far February 19, 2010
S. Miranda (Space coast, FL)
I just received this tv today so I have not had a chance to see or use all of the functions. So as far as a plug and play review, I have nothing bad to say about this set, and I think I am a harsh critic, personally. I did my research before buying and found this 32" set to be the clear winner. Amazon had the best price by far and shipment was faster than expected.
THis is my 3rd HD set and this one is superior to the others, especially the sound quality, in my opinion, which is something I was concerned about. Swivel feature is very nice and unexpected. It is the perfect size for my bedroom, and I'm glad to hear about the lower power/brightness feature for late night watching, as another reviewer mentioned.
Overall...I couldn't be happier with this purchase. If you are thinking it over, my advice is go for it! There are lemons out there no matter what you do or where you shop, as I see has happened to some of the folks here, unfortunately. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I just received it today. Will update my post in a couple of months (hopefully with more great news! Let's just say, I'm keeping the box! Hey, you just never know).
 A Great TV Backed by Fantastic Customer Service at Amazon! February 18, 2010

I researched this TV and in the 32 inch category it came away the clear winner! The Picture quality is awesome, the number of inputs and outputs exceed what most people need however they will be there in the future should you need them. There is even a USB port on this TV. The contrast ratio is far greater than Sony or any other brand I have come across. I expected to pay in excess of $700 for what Amazon is offering for $559 + free shipping! If you have been looking and have not yet made a decision to purchase........Order it from Amazon NOW!
No headphone jack! February 5, 2010

As title. I can't quite believe Samsung wouldn't include a headphone jack. It boggles my mind. How much did it save them? A few bucks? Completely stupid. If you want to use this TV with headphones you have two choices - plug the audio out into an amp, then the headphones into the amp. Or get a left-right RCA to mini-jack cable and plug directly into your headphones. However, if the headphones (like my Sennheisers) have separate left/right mini-jacks instead of one stereo you're boned again. Yes, there may be another cable that would work, but really, why should I bother?
Lovely screen, but what were you thinking with the lack of headphone support, Mr Samsung????
Great TV January 8, 2010

I have purchased 2 low end HDTVs recently and what I notice most are lack of functions or ease of functions and the low speed of channel selection. Almost any low end HDTV will give a great picture and while I would not categorize this Samsung in that low end category, the picture is great and the channel selection is fast. This TV does a good job of providing ease of use for channel deletion, favorites etc. However it does not allow one to change the name or number of cable DTV channels. So when you are used to watching channel 4, it appears as example, 118-1 on the TV. The sound is also very good on this TV. For the low end TVs previously mentioned the audio when turned up would quickly distort. The Samsung was light and easy to install. Amazon had a great price with free delivery when I bought it.
For the inability to manage channels better I give this TV 4 stars.
Good picture quality but average sound January 1, 2010

This TV is now old and superseded by other better 120Hz TV's. Personally, I checked out the 120Hz v/s 60Hz TV's at Best Buy and I couldn't tell any difference. I think this is all a gimmick to keep making people pay for new stuff. First there was DVD quality, then ED quality which was kinda HD, then 720p, then 1080i and now BluRay and finally Full HD 1080p. Since this topic of HD is now exhausted, the newest manufacturer trick is to double the refresh rate from 60Hz to 120Hz to 240Hz etc. I have a 5-year old 1080i 50" Hitachi LCD rear projection TV and I am happy with that. All this new stuff is just to entice customers with buzzwords.
Anyways, coming to this TV, it has good picture quality out of the box. However, the sound quality is average. I played my home music streamed through my PS3 and the sound quality was just average or even below average. There was no bass thump, no oomph in the music. It was flat, monotonous and generally average. Now, I can understand smaller TV's needing external speakers, but this is a 32" TV. You should give it good sound. My earlier Samsung 19" this replaced had better sound.
PS3 over BluRay was good. Game mode is a plus since signal passes unprocessed meaning faster response time. I think this TV has 6ms response time which is good enough for most games. Unless you have super fast motion where you may see ghosting although I think that still will be rare with the 6ms.
Enough ports on the back for the PC, HDMI, component so no complaints. TV Remote is good and well laid out. Light on/off feature on remote is a nice touch for dark rooms.
The red touch of color is barely visible and I could only tell when sunlight fell on the TV. Else you cannot even tell its got the red touch. This is a silly useless feature anyways.
Oh and the swivel feature of the stand is a big plus over Sony and other TV's in this category.
Overall, I will recommend you buy this but hear out the audio quality first in BestBuy.
