Typical Samsung - Impressive August 8, 2008
Ollie
This set was bought as a gift, and the family member does not yet have HD programming. The specifications are better than my year-old Samsung 46" which was clearly the in-store winner when I made my choice, so I know they will be just as happy as I've been.
Great product, another nice TV from Samsung! August 5, 2008

Like before I wanted the best TV for the $$$. Amazon and Samsung provided a great buy on a great TV.
Outstanding "right out of the box" experience August 5, 2008

I had to make a quick decision on a replacement TV, and after some research opted for this set. This 32-inch model is more than big enough for a typical living room. The picture is superb, setup took a matter of minutes. I only had an S-video cable at hand to hook up our DVD player and the resulting picture is breathtakingly clear.
If you have been watching TV on a "normal" set then you may not be aware (as I wasn't) that many channels on the major networks already have separate high definition channels with the same content. This 720p set generates a very fine picture in HD; 1080p isn't needed.
I'm very pleased with this purchase through Amazon's reseller.
Great picture for a great price August 3, 2008

I finally jumped on the HDTV bandwagon by getting the Samsung LN32A450, and I must say I am impressed. It took a little fine tuning to set it up, but I am very satisfied with the picture and have not had any problems. I would recommend this TV for anyone who, like me, is late in buying an HDTV as this is a great entry-level set.
Excellent buy for price I paid August 1, 2008

Comparing this side-by-side in the store to the 32" Sammy A550, I didn't see any major differences, certainly none worth paying a couple hundred dollars more to get a 1080p set. If you aren't connecting to a 1080p source anyway (game console, BD player), then the 720p vs. 1080p. argument is moot in this size class (though the 550 offers higher contrast ratio). I also compared this to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, and Sony 32" sets, and the Sammy was better hands down.
I've calibrated this set using settings I found on AVS forum for the 550 and the picture quality (PQ) is excellent in Movie Mode giving bright, natural, and saturated colors. I'm using this TV in my bedroom with a Samsung upconverting DVD player and cable TV (line direct from wall, no box), watching local HD channels via the clear QAM tuner. I actually found the PQ to be better with the QAM than the off air tuner. The remote also controls the Sammy DVD player which is handy. Standard def cable is poor in comparison, but not unwatchable. I've also connected this to a PC to watch streaming movies on Netflix, and the PQ is comparable to DVD.
Yes, as others have pointed out, the audio isn't terrific, but you can improve it by doing some tweaking, or at least switching to the "Movie" or "Music" settings.
