Great TV with for a Great price

I've had this TV for about 3-4 months and have been nothing but happy with it. This was my first HD TV and was happy with what I saw, it's great for watching movies and also a good TV to play video games on. The knock I have on this TV is the stock speakers it comes with, there just not that great, but there not horrorifyingly bad etheir. I just hooked up some PC speakers to them and sounds great, I used the headphone jack on the back of it. I read that other guys review and I don't understand how you can ignore a great picture and price over something as little as a time zone issue, which has not happend to me. But whatever some people get more fused over differnet things then others I guess.

Over all I'd highly recommend this TV to anyone that's on a budget but'd still like a great looking TV.

Gets the right stuff correct,especially the picture.

When it came time to replace the finally failing 27 yr old Sony in the bedroom,I looked of course back at Sony and others.After much research, I settled on Samsung,Panasonic, and Sony 32" sets.Each time I viewed the sets, the Panasonic and Samsung were the two favs. Side by side, the Samsung blew the Panasonic off the shelf with better blacks( though I'm sure the Panny plasmas would have been better) and color accruracy.Other purchase pushers were the better jack pack on the Samsung, more attractive design(love the clear/red lower panel) and it swivels on the stand.The set up was super easy and the reward has been hours of great picture.

I've used this set for about 3 weeks now and done some really critical viewing with SD/HD cable as well as DVD playback. I have been very impressed with the picture quailty of the higher def sources and especially the 720 and 1080 pictures.Yeah I know it's not really 1080 but watching NBC or CBS shows over the ABC(720) is an impressive difference.The picture simply pops with detail and color that is astounding. The DVD playback has also been a revelation and the blacks are I think rivaling the 36" XBR Sony in the home theater.The depth of field is no doubt better. The STD def TV is fine and simply reminds one how much the source does matter.That would be why I just purchased a DVR to finally retire the VCR and then I can use the HDMI connections. The most obvious weakness of this set(along with most flat screens) has to be the weak sound quailty which I knew about and was OK for the bedroom( also connected it to a stereo for movies).

What I would change are a few ergonomic issues. The remote feels great but is neither backlit or programmable ,real pain in a darkened bedroom.Going to another source cannot be directly accessed with one button but only thru a menu.The same is true for the sleep timer, a multibutton trek thru a menu, again not dark bedroom friendly.Oddly, while I love the turn on/off tone(reminds me of my Apple booting up), I wish I could lower it's volume so the set coming on doesn't disturb the sleeping partner.

Overall, I am very very happy with this first non Sony TV in the house and will look forward to another Samsung if this gives equally great service.

Excellent as both HDTV and Computer monitor

I bought a Samsung 46" LCD TV last year and loved the picture quality, so this year when I looked to purchase a computer monitor I decided to check out Samsung again. Finally I settled for this unit (Samsung LN32B540 32" 720p HDTV) at COSTCO for below $400 this past Thanksgiving weekend after I spent some time comparing its picture quality and price to similar products at both local COSTCO and Sam's Club as well as in Amazon.com.

Now I use this unit as both HDTV and my laptop's extra monitor. The setup is really easy, and the auto time setting was indeed wrong as others stated here (it's an hour faster), but the problem is easily fixed by using "manual" time setting. I didn't notice this issue until I read about it here...

After trying a few different video modes within Windows Control Panel, Display Settings, I was able to manually set the optimal resolution at 1360x768, and the text clarity, color, and size are just perfect. The 32" size is big enough for me as both a HDTV and computer monitor in my home office. With one click on the remote I can switch the "Source" between "TV" and "PC"; I can move windows freely between my laptop screen and this unit with a mouse, which really helps my productivity when I work with multiple EXCEL files and web pages.

Picture quality is not the best, but decent, when watching web TVs/videos, Netflix online movies, or DVDs using my laptop (my laptop has only a regular VGA video output). But for less than $400 I couldn't ask for more.

This unit fits my home office needs almost perfectly at a very reasonable price. I couldn't be happier for this purchase and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a two-in-one LCD TV and computer monitor combo!

Good product, good value

Since I don't do a lot of TV watching (except football), I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a TV, and since I do most of my TV watching in a small room, 32" was plenty big for me. I have had great luck with my other Samsung HDTV, so I had no qualms about buying another one.

I just got this, so I can't comment on the longevity of the unit, but the picture quality is excellent. It only took a few seconds to set up, since all I needed to do was plug in the HDMI cable, put the batteries in the remote, and turn it on. No adjustments were needed. When I take the time to see what adjustments I can make, I will likely be even more pleased. The sound is good, but not great. However, when I hook it up to my stereo, it sounds awesome.

Disappointed

I got this TV less than 6 months ago. Luckily for me I was still under warranty. One year with Samsung and an additional year with Costco. One minute I had picture and sound, the next only sound. The Samsung technician agreed immediately it was an issue and told me I had to ship to their repair center in New Jersey. I still had the box so shipping was not a big deal. If I had not kept the box, it would have been very inconvenient.

I don't know if this is true but I read that the Samsung LCD HDTV has a well know problem of faulty video board which causes the picture to go out. I was planning on purchasing another Samsung TV but I'll probably go with a Sony instead.

Best HD TV for the Price; period.

I'll keep it simple and short: I worked as a manager for an electronics giant for a while and I've seen and compared many screens... No other panel in my opinion comes close to Samsung (and the similar models, like the 550 or 600) when it comes to quality/price ratio. If you're looking for 37 to 40 inch. there is NOTHING better than this in the market other than the elite units (non priced below 3k, so don't be fooled).

I am loving this Samsung!

I bought this Samsung tv on black Friday. I found it to be a great tv. The picture looks fantastic with my digital cable and Samsung Blue Ray player. The colors just pop and the picture is crystal clear. I hooked it up to a Samsung surround sound system and now it sounds fantastic too. I haven't had any problems with the tv or the other Samsung products I purchased. Easy to hook up and look and sound great! Loved watching the Super Bowl and am looking forward to March Madness!

Nice tv, Cheap price tag

This tv is great for it's price. I got this during the thanksgiving holiday sales for only 799! Picture quality is really good and the xbox games look awsome in hd.

Horrible Support

It was nice while it lasted. It died in July. It is still broken.

This is the saga of my still unresolved problem television. I would have never imagined that 3 months would pass and I would still be stuck with a dead television. Every time I think I have turned a corner that will bring me to the end, a fixed television it is not so.

I should have never purchased a Samsung product. Plain and simple. I know this now. I purchased an LCD television and to make matters worse I purchased it from Sears. This was on 12/19/2009. I was happy. The TV worked and it looked good. Until it didn't. In late July of 2009 the TV would not power on correctly.

- I called Samsung support because Sear's sales person told me it only had a manufacturer warranty unless I upgraded to theirs. We did some troubleshooting and the technician determined the problem. He said the parts will be shipped to me and I will call a technician who will visit and fix the TV.

- A week passes and I do not see any parts. I call the repair company Samsung has contracted and they say the parts are back ordered. Okay I wait.

- I wait a month and I see nothing. I check the status of my ticket online and it says the ticket is canceled. I call the repair company again. They say the parts are still on back order and suggest calling Samsung.

- I call Samsung and the woman tells me the parts are back ordered. I ask here for an ETA. She says there is none. I ask her what good is my warranty if there are no parts to fix the TV. At this point it seems there is no intention of fixing my TV. The apathy pours out of my earphone. I finally tell her that I just wish to sell the useless TV back to them. She offers to arrange for Executive Customer Service to exchange the TV. Since it will never be fixed I settle for that.

- After a week someone finally calls me. This is in early September. We exchange information. He says that he will prepare the exchange which will take a week (really?? a week) and then it will be sent to Sears to exchange the TV since I purchased it there. I ask how long all of this should take to get the TV. He says two weeks.

- The next week I get a call from the same representative (I guess it does take a week) and he says the information has been sent to Sears and I should hear from them shortly, riiiiiiiiight.

- I do not hear from them. I call Samsung for a status. They say they know nothing. This I do believe. I ask them to check with Sears on the status, maybe give a nudge.

- Two weeks later there is no contact. I call Samsung and ask if I can have the contact information for the person at Sears receiving the exchange request and an RMA number. The woman gives me the RMA number but will not release the contact info. I ask her if she can contact them for a status. She says she can re-submit the request.

- Still nothing. I try calling some Sears numbers and no one knows what an RMA number is. I am not joking. Everyone said they didn't even know what an RMA was.

- A couple days later I get a call from I'm not sure if it was Sears, Samsung or an intermediary. She said she was from some company other than Sears or Samsung. They say they will contact someone at my local Sears store and make sure something happens.

- Nothing happens. I decide to visit the store (09/04/09). I am told that nothing can be done until the department manager is back and he will be in on Saturday. I come in on Sautrday. He is not there. I come in on Monday. He is not in. I am told he will be in on Thursday. I come in on Thursday. He is in. I give him the RMA number from Samsung. He checks it and calls HQ. He says it is not a Sears RMA number and is probably a Samsung reference number. He asks me to call Samsung and see if they can e-mail the exchange information to him and he will try and take care of it. He gives me his card. I call Samsung and give them the info. They need a fax number. I get the fax number and call back the rep updates the ticket and I ask him if someone will e-mail/fax the info. He's says that he is sure someone is working on the ticket and it will be done.

- (10/09/09) I am sure no one is working on it. No one ever has. Why would they now. I call Samsung. The women confirms that no one sent any information to the department manager at Sears. She says she will check with her manager to see if she can re-submit the request to Sears HQ (which has been done twice supposedly) and "maybe" in addition send it to the department manager. No promises, no hope, end of call.

I have no idea what is going on. When I get on Samsung's site both tickets, the repair and exchange ticket are canceled (but I'm sure some one is working on it). I have never encountered such an infective system as Samsung's support service. I strongly recommend not buying a Samsung product. I will update this blog as more unfolds. I should have started this sooner but I could never have predicted such problems. In the meantime I relate my story to everyone I know, who are dismayed and affected. I am probably missing a lot of phone calls I have made but this is the meat of it.

Great picture

This TV replaced a 42" insignia LCD. There is no comparison, although I only paid $100 more for this than I paid for the Insignia less than 2 years ago.

I hadn't planned on replacing my TV, since I was not dissatisfied with my old one, but the whole time I was beta testing Windows 7 on my media center, I could not use the HDMI out. So I took the chance on the problem being with an older TV rather than my newer computer, and it paid off. I got to use HDMI again.

The picture is crisp, very little artifacts. Sports, movies, everything looks good. I spent the last couple days jumping randomly through my movie collection checking things out at 1080P again, and love the results. So bright, so crisp, all without having to be in torch mode.

My Xbox Elite is out for repair, so I went and bought a Sony PS3 and some games to try it out with, and games are outstanding.

For a completely unplanned, spur of the moment purchase, I am very happy with this unit. I had narrowed myself down to four different brands, a Sony, a LG, another Insignia ,and this. When I went to the local brick and mortar, they had all of the nearby, and I was able to direct compare them all with the same source running, and this one, while more expensive than the others I was looking at, more than made up for the minor price difference by having such a noticeably better picture.

And the fact that the remote is in the database for my Harmony One remote didn't hurt either - discrete codes for pretty much everything there is on the TV.

Very happy in every respect with this TV.

bad purchase

would have loved to give it zero stars! i bought this tv in december 2008. from day 1, it had problems with pixelation, every now and then, red and green pixel lines showed up but then disappeared. they appeared with cable, with dish network channels and with DVDs. now, it's august 2009, and this tv has turned into a completely useless piece of furntiture, the screen is entirely red with occasional green, and almost no visible image. a diagnostic visit from a place like best buy will cost 150$ on sale, cable technicians came out twice and were not sure of the problem. it's just not what i expect of a brand name like samsung, i dropped 1500$ on this set, and would expect it to work perfectly right out of the box. now, 8 months later, im already thinking of a new major purchase to save msyelf the headache of dealing with parts, technicians, diagnostics, not to metion the hours of aggravation over the phone with call centers. this time maybe a plasma tv. this was a bad purchase.
