 Died after 5 months of used.. samsung refuses to replace... Nov 22, 2009
I had this TV for a total of a year and 4 months. I was deployed to Iraq, so this TV was in storage for over a year. When i got it back, it worked great and nothing was wrong with it. 2 Months after I got back, it died and samsung refuses to replace it. The TV got a total use of around 4-5months. Do not buy Samsung products, they refuse to back them up and replace them.
 Super Samsung TV Oct 26, 2009
I really love this tv, crystal clear picture when hooked up to hdmi cable. I read reviews that the sound was not that great, sure it's not home theater, but upstairs in my bedroom I have no complaints with the sound. Startup was simple, and also was hookup. I have it mounted on the wall, and will be reviewing the mount for it as well. I did a lot of research on 32" tvs and came up with this samsung which had high ratings. I also want to add I buy most of my electronics through Amazon and have always been pleased with their prices and services. Shipping was swift and easy to track. Another product I am well pleased with.

A video Review of the TV. Jul 18, 2009
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R25Q95UB646QBA Please keep in mind this is a general overview . I don't go into details over menu interface, connections, specs, ect. And though the PC connection is a big plus for me I have no tested it yet. So I do not know if HDMI adapters or HDMI/VGA cables are best for this TV.
I will touch on this though, High Def sources are best for this screen. If you own a Wii or anything that can not outsource above 420p do not expect mouth dropping results. The TV does a respectable job buts not what its meant for.
UPDATE. Sep 18th.
The Tv is still running great. I got the chance to hook a PC up to it using a DVI to HDMI cable and the picture was fantastic.
Great picture easy setup Jul 05, 2009
Great picture (sharp with great color fidelity)and easy setup. Sound OK (better then expected). Great selection of external interfaces. Very pleased with this purchase. Would not hesitate to recomend this product.

Great, compact TV for a great price! Jun 25, 2009
I purchased this TV second-hand, and I use it as a computer monitor. I do a significant amount of graphic design work, so color reproduction, black levels and clarity are very important to me.
Expect to spend some time playing with the settings if you want anything approximating true colors. At first I thought this was an awful TV/monitor. I spent a couple hours trying to calibrate it and, after being unable to achieve usable results, I almost sold it the next day. It took me a couple more hours of a tinkering to finally get it how it is now, but NOW it is fantastic.
It took a combination of video card settings and monitor settings. While calibrating I ensured I had a high contrast background with lots of dark colors. I played a video with lots of action and facial tones, and kept a color palette up. Then I played with the settings individually, I first got the monitor optimized: sharpness (0), contract (65), brightness(60), color(50), tint (G50/R50), color temperature (Cool2), in Dynamic mode using the "Just Scan" option and none of the stupid gimmicky software filtering they add under picture options. Then moving onto the video card settings I found that I needed to drastically alter the gamma settings to alleviate serious black-bleeding (+1.27). I also had to fool around with individual colors using the automatic monitor setup tool that comes with Nvidia video cards. Obviously, your TV and video card are going to differ from mine, but hopefully this serves as a helpful starting point.
The color reproduction and black levels are almost on par with my IPS and PVA panels that sit to the left and right respectively. Even though this is a TN, it does have very acceptable color reproduction. Now don't get me wrong, you will not want to do any sort of graphic work on this TV, but it looks great for movies, games and general computer use.
It is sufficiently bright with the backlight on level 0 both at night and during the day.
The remote is alright. It's quite ugly, but it's designed with older folks in mind. The buttons are easy to hit and the backlight behind the keys makes it easily usable in a dark room.
The stand is sturdy and looks very nice and clean. The base's rotation works well and stays where placed, it will not rotate on its own.
If you do much switching between resolutions, such as transitioning into a legacy full screen program, the monitor does take a few seconds to catch up. It is much worse than any monitor I've used before, but not a deal-breaker for me at all.
I can truly recommend this product, but be prepared to calibrate!

Consumer Reports Says: Buy HDTV at Amazon!
Washington, D.C. (October 31, 2008) -- When it comes to price, Consumer Reports says shoppers are most likely to find the best deals online. And the publication called three ecommerce sites "standouts" in this year's Consumer Reports ratings of electronics stores: Amazon.com, Crutchfield.com and B&H (bhphotovideo.com)
The magazine's survey was based on more than 38,000 purchases of electronics, including flat-screen TVs, between January 2007 and June 2008. The report indicated that online stores consistently offered better prices. (The magazine's full report can be found in its December 2008 issue.)
"Buying online can be better," the magazine said in a press release. "The higher-rated electronics retailers in Consumer Reports annual reader survey are Web sites. Readers who bought online rated their overall satisfaction at 90 out of 100 -- higher than those who bought in a store. Additionally, many Web merchants offer free shipping, even on TVs, which could spare the hassle of struggling to fit a bulky carton in the car or paying a local store for delivery."
Consumer Reports said that while no single retailer scored excellent in all shopping categories, Amazon.com and Crutchfield.com came closest.
