CNET Editors' review - Samsung LN32A450
Hide

Very good

7.6

out of 10
CNET Editor's rating: 7.6 out of 10
Reviewed by David Katzmaier
Review date: 4/22/08
Release date: 3/15/08

The good: Produces relatively deep blacks; accurate, well-saturated color; numerous picture controls; comprehensive connectivity; stylish design with hidden speakers and swivel stand.

The bad: Somewhat expensive compared with entry-level models; awkward picture preset arrangement; some detail loss with 1080i sources.

The bottom line: Solid picture quality propels the Samsung LN32A450 LCD to the front of small-screen class.

Product brief - Samsung LN32A450
Hide

Description: The Samsung LN32A450 is a 32-inch, liquid crystal display television. Compared to other liquid crystal display TVs on the market, it is relatively inexpensive at around $745. This TV is an LCD display, which is generally the best kind of flat-panel screen for viewing in brightly-lit rooms.

Pros: With built-in HDTV compatibility, this television can display images that are significantly sharper and more realistic than regular television, as long as the source is high definition. (It can easily render standard-resolution digital TV broadcasts and also depict the full resolution of widescreen DVD video.) The 3:2 pulldown feature of this unit reduces artifacts that can occur when motion pictures are transferred to a digital format such as DVD.

Cons: Has only a rear connector location.

Suitability: Built for those who want to enjoy an ultra-sharp picture from an ultra-thin TV. Also, a wide aspect TV such as this one is well suited for DVD movies recorded in the popular 16:9 format, as well as high definition programming.

Value: In view of its relatively inexpensive price, this TV has great features for the money. In terms of viewable size, liquid crystal display TVs having comparable viewable size have an average cost of around $875.

Suggestions: (1) For assistance in shopping for a new HDTV, read CNET editors' Ultimate HDTV Buying Guide . (2) If donating or repurposing your old TV is not a viable option, CNET encourages households to recycle their electronics. Please explore the following website to find a recycling center in your area Electronics Take Back Coalition .
