 Great TV for the price. December 5, 2009

I picked this up around Black Friday '09 for just under $400. I had tried to purchase an LCD TV a few years ago, before finally deciding on a plasma because I couldn't stand the motion blur of the LCDs. I bought this TV as a gift for someone, and stopped by to check out the picture quality. It was very good. I checked a few different places -- sports stations, sometimes even the news ticker -- to see if I could notice any motion blur, and I saw none. I wouldn't say the picture is better than plasma, but I was very impressed for it being an LCD. I would definitely recommend this product. I don't usually write reviews, but I wanted to write this one in case anyone had any of the same issues I had before buying it. It is a great TV.
After doing a lot of research, I settled on this Samsung and absolutely love it. December 17, 2009

After weeks of research, comparing and contemplating all the various choices I had when it came to LCD TVs of this size and price range, I decided this Samsung was the one for me. I took it home, removed it out of the box, assembled it, turned it on and as I had expected, was really impressed by what this TV had to offer.
The picture quality is absolutely amazing. Especially when watching any blu ray movie. It just looks so crisp, colorful and the image moves so smoothly. The picture on this 720p TV looks just as brilliant as a 1080p TV of the same 32 inch size. I have a Playstation 3 connected to the TV using a Mediabridge Ultra Series HDMI cable and am still astonished today by how all my videogames have never looked, felt, and sounded so good before. This TV definitely is excellent for playing videogames, especially with its exclusive "Game Mode" which makes the games move even more smoother and more life-like. Picture settings and sound settings are both fully customizable as well as feature preset settings. The TV has simple, easy to follow menu screens that only took me a few moments to navigate through and learn. The remote is also simple and easy to use.
I only have two complaints about this TV and they are relatively minor. Firstly, while the sound from the speakers is plenty loud and life-like, I would have wanted the speakers to have a little more bass to them. At a few instances when watching regular TV programming, it sounds clear but at the same time does sound kinda flat. However, they sound great when playing movies and games through my Playstation 3. Lastly, the picture loses some of its color when viewing the TV from the side. The TV is in one corner of my room and I have it facing diagonally towards the center of my room. Meaning, I view it from the side on occasion. When I do, the color fades out a bit. I heard this is very typical of LCDs and do see the exact same thing with other brands as well.
Some people will opt for the other, more expensive, 32 inch LN32B460 model also made by Samsung because that model has 3 HDMI outputs compared to 2 HDMI outputs on this TV. However personally, I only need 2 HDMI outputs, one being for my Playstation 3, the other for the cable box. So a third HDMI output was really unnecessary for me. Plus, I love the glossy all-black finish of this TV. The other model has a different finish.
Overall, I give this TV a 9.8/10, which is the highest rating I've given compared to any other 32 inch LCD. I'm extremely happy and look forward to years and years of use from it and will purchase another Samsung TV in the future. You can't go wrong with Samsung TVs, they are quality TVs in every sense of the word.

... except whenever possible, connect the set via an HDMI cable (even if you only have regular cable) as the picture improved dramatically. I initially used coax but wasn't at all pleased with the picture quality. Next I tried the component connections as I had a spare set of new cables handy and while the picture improved, it still wasn't all that great. I took CNET's advice and bought an El Cheapo HDMI cable from Ebay ($4.15 shipped!) and then the set then came to life. The picture quality is very nice now. BTW: don't spend any more than $5 shipped for an HDMI cable, you're wasting your money (look on Amazon and Ebay -- they are a ton of them out there).
We've had the set for a couple of weeks now and are enjoying the free space in the family room that the old 26" CRT set and the old TV stand that it used to sit on occupied (the Samsung is mounted on the wall). I see that Amazon has the set listed now at $399 with free shipping but when we got ours on Black Friday weekend, Best Buy had the best price I could find at $377. My only gripe so far with buying from Amazon is that it takes them several days to get the order out the door.
UPDATE: 02/24/10 - We've had this set for a couple of months now and it has been working great. My only complaint so far is fairly trivial: the remote control seems to have a very narrow window in which the set will detect the commands from the remote. I am not sure if it's the TV or the remote itself that is the problem, but unless you are pointing the remote at a certain spot on the TV, it doesn't acknowledge the command(s).
Great Picture, Great Second TV January 30, 2010

After lots of careful research, I decided to go with this Samsung TV based on customer reviews and professional reviews. I am very glad to say that I am completely satisfied with this purchase. The picture is great and the inputs in the back are sufficient to satisfy the needs of a bedroom/office TV. Xbox 360, PC, Standard Def Cable, HDMI, all of the inputs necessary are available here. Granted, there is only really one, maybe two of each type of input, but likely you are not buying a 32in TV to be your media center in your living room. If you are, I would suggest either looking at a larger size or possibly the SONY - KDL series TV's.
Either way, this is the bottom line: if you are in the market for the best bang-for-your-buck second TV, this is your best bet. Sony and Panasonic have some good TV's at this size and near this price range, but in my opinion, this TV has the best picture of the three. Another thing: do not worry about this set being 720p. 720p is plenty at this screen size, so save yourself some money and stick with a 720p/1080i TV. The only reason I could find to go with a 1080p 32in TV would be if you intend to use it as a computer monitor, but even that might be overkill for some people. In addition, you may want to check out the calibration settings for this TV on CNET.com. I used these setting and it makes the picture even richer.
My final note: if you are thinking about buying a 32in TV, stop right now and buy this one. You will enjoy it. I bought this from amazon.com and they delivered the TV the very next day! I can't promise that you will have your TV delivered as quickly, but amazon gets an A++ from me in the customer service department!

I, like many others, pulled the trigger on the tv when it dropped to $378 on Black Friday. I used to have the Samsung LN32A450 but had to sell it when I moved. At the new place, I was actually content with the regular non-high definition tv, but when the price drops that much, I have to purchase it, mainly because Samsung TVs = quality
Comparing the A450 to the B360... well I don't really notice any differences really. It has one less HDMI port but other than that it is all the same to me. I use mines for playing PS3 games, watching Bloomberg and the occasional movie through the PS3.
I would reccomend this TV 110%. It is still worth it at this price definitely, but I would look to see if anyone is selling it for $378 still...
