Strengths: This LCD HDTV rocks and for the price it is hard to beat for the quality you get. The picture is superb, the contrast and color in HD is just totally awesome with my Dish Network system. Even the blacks are really dark. I recommend using the component cables for video and not HDMI as the color will be down graded some and the blacks tend to fade and get pixely. As far as using it for a computer monitor it will be fine to use the HDMI.
Weaknesses:I have heard various complaints on the sound but when you have such a thin TV what do you expect. I actually think it has not to bad of sound for the demensions it has. Most people who want such a TV usually have a Home Theater System as I do to give the sound they really want to hear. As far as any other weaknesses that i can think of their really isn't any and i have used this LCD TV for quite some time now and put it to use everyday.
Overall Evaluation: In my opinion Samsung has done a fine job in their new line and as technology gets better they will too. I have nothing bad to say about this LCD HDTV and I suppose if they wanted to try and make better sound come out of it, it might be kind of hard because of the tight space. You can't have everything unless you maybe spend $1000's of dollars and even then one might not be totally satisfied. Give this LCD a chance and for the one's who purchased it and it didn't work, that's life and mistakes do happen and electronics do fail and I'm sure they replaced it with one that did work.

Strengths: Nice looking TV, The picture was great. Even SD channels looked very good.
Weaknesses:One problem-it just died after a week.
Overall Evaluation: Nice looking TV, The picture was great. Even SD channels looked very good. One problem-it just died after a week. I took it back to Best Buy without a problem and got the 40" Samsung (LNS4041D). So far that's very nice. I'm glad I got the bigger TV.

Strengths: I've read all your reviews about this great monitor, but in all the information on this site, I've yet to see dimensions on this monitor. All I can find is that its a 32in monitor that can be used as a pc monitor as well. Could somebody help me out here? I need spec on this monitor to see whether I can fit it in my office outfit or if I just have find a place on my wall for it. All help will be greatly appreciated.

Strengths: Price, great contrast, picture, and it looks good with any decor. Lots of inputs and 2 HDMI inputs. Relatively light and sturdy stand.
Weaknesses:Not many! Remote is a bit awkward to hold and does not work from accross my bedroom about 15 feet away. Sound from the internal speakers could be a little louder and clearer.
Overall Evaluation: This is my first HDTV and it is great!! I've compared other HDTVs and this one has the best picture and colors for the price. It does not display 1080i native, but the 768p is really good for gaming and watching movies with action. I've already played Call of Duty 2 and Half Life 2 Episode 1 on PC, and they both looked better than on my 24" 1920 x 1200 Dell monitor! This TV was built for PC and console gamers in mind. I connected a $12 Phillips antenna to it and I can get at least 20HDTV channels here in the SF Bay area for free. Awesome! As for the lack of displaying 1080i or 1080p, those sets cost a lot more and this is great for a starter set or a gaming set. I'm very happy with my purchase and would recommend this set to anyone looking for a quality affordable HDTV. Since it is not the latest model, you can probably pick one up on sale at a reduced price like I did.

Strengths: Dont know, did not work out of the box!!!!
Weaknesses:Wont even light up. Picture quality, what picture?
Overall Evaluation: Ordered one in from Buydig.com never worked even for a minute. Samsung said to wait 14 working days for them to find a person to service it. After 14 working days they said that they would e-mail the person right now and it would take another 2 days for a call. Sill waiting!!!!!Looks real nice on my office floor collecting dust. Buy local or not at all!!!!!!!
Review:
Samsung LN-S3251D
One of Samsung's swankier-looking TVs, but also one of its most basic LCD models.
