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.
