  Overall Rating: 2 Star Review

  Duration of ownership:55 Days

  Strengths: Good picture,great price,perfect size for a south Philly home,

  Weaknesses: Tv broke on the 40th day!!!

  Overall Evaluation: This tv is great, but on the 40th day I noticed something wrong with the picture. As time went on the picture got worse. It was a distorted picture. As time would pass the picture returned to normal. By the 45th day the picture was not returning to normal. Called Samsung and they sent out a technician. Technician attempted to repair tv but it was not repairable. Samsung after 2 weeks decided that they would send me a new tv. It is now about 3 weeks and I still haven't seen my new tv. Called Samsung and was told that the tv would arive in New Jersey about Feb 8th and that when it arrives it will take about 2 to 3 days after it arrives to get it to me. When it arrives it would be about 1 month without a tv. This year I have to go out to watch the superbowl. Next time I think I will probably buy the Sony Bravia model.

  Strengths: Excellent picture and sound, very reliable, great for digital cable and DVDs.

  Weaknesses: Completely dysfunctional on/off timer!

  Overall Evaluation: Overall, this TV has been great. However, I have it hooked up in my bedroom, and my wife and I decided we wanted to try to use it as an alarm clock (since it has an on/off timer, right?). Anyway, we programmed it to turn on at 5 AM, and it came on in Antenna mode on channel 3, despite the fact that both my cable box and DVD player are hooked up to component video. There is NOTHING hooked up to the antenna coaxial input. Unfortunately, the timer does not give the option of video source. It assumes you are using the antenna and only asks you what channel you want. How useless is this? With all this high tech gadgetry, don't you think the geniuses at Samsung would have figured out how to give you the choice of inputs when the TV goes on? VERY frustrating!

  Duration of ownership:3 Weeks

  Strengths: Superb picture quality, excellent picture enhancement features.

  Weaknesses: Shiny, black plastic border around picture area results in distractions from reflections of bright objects in room.

  Overall Evaluation: Compared to our old non-flat, standard TV, the picture quality improvement is like night and day. In addition, the set weighs only 20 pounds which makes it convenient to set up or relocate. This is an excellent product from all standpoints. In addition to exceptional picture quality, it has a sufficient number of external connections with various formats to interconnect with other devices such as DVD and tape players, external audio systems, etc. Although the LN-R328W includes a built-in PIP (Picture In Picture) feature, it lacks an additional tuner which precludes simultaneous viewing of a second TV channel. Overall, the unit is very competitive from both a quality and price standpoint.

  Duration of ownership:45 Days

  Strengths: Excellent picture quality

  Weaknesses: Only one HDMI input, need one for cablebox, one for DVD player, poor reliability

  Overall Evaluation: I looked at all the major brands, including Sony, JVC, and Sharp and this 32" LCD has the best picture. The picture quality is exceptional. Unfortunately, the reliability is just not there, and I would not recommend buying Samsung. I bought the tv from Best Buy and on the 39th day the picture went very dark. I purhcased the 4 year extended warranty so set up an appt for them to come out and look at it. Within two days the picture was back to normal, so canceled the service call. Since then it has been flickering between modes of normal to very dark. I turned off the brightness sensor, still have same problem. I also have a Monster Power box that monitors voltage and the power is ok. It is now the 50th day and the tv is very dark again, and ready to throw the $2000 boat anchor out the window. I have set up a second service call and anxiously awaiting to see if the main LCD bulb is burning out. Would probably buy Sony or Sharp next time.

  Duration of ownership:3 Months

  Strengths: - Nice and bright picture- No hassle PC support

  Weaknesses: - Low quality of plastic case- Low quality of sound- Warranty does not cover LCD panel (they avoid fixing it by inventing user damage)

  Overall Evaluation: I was impressed by picture quality on that TV and by great integration capabilities (input ports). I had it for 2 months and I started to notice dark spots on the LCD panel. I made about 20 calls to attempt fixing it under warranty just to hear them blame it on me or shipping for the physical damage. I used to be a big fan of Samsung but their products just need to be more reliable - I also had trouble with a Samsung washer not so long ago. Also pay attention to low quality of plastics used - the TV is very shaky on the provided stand - I would recommend a wall mount. Sound quality is so bad I would call this model a monitor. In fact it does look like a big PC monitor and not like a TV set. Nice speaker set is a must even for occasional music listeners as me.My rating is 2 just because it has picture quality I loved so much. Otherwise it is a worst buys I've ever made.

  Duration of ownership:30 Days

  Strengths: Price, Features

  Weaknesses: No major weakness

  Overall Evaluation: I search several websites to research and visited all the local retail stores- PC Richard, Best Buy, Circuit City, and 6th Avenue Electronics to compare the various products. I needed 32" to fit in a certain space so I decided on LCD. I ruled out all of the low cost LCD by off brands as their pictures just didn't stack up. I narrowed it down to Samsung, Sony and Magnavox. The Samsung had a great picture and features at a good price. I got mine for 1449.00 (PC Richard price matched buy.com. If you are watching HD or digital format pictures like Shark tale the picture and resolution are fantastic with great vivid colors and good blacks. The picture resolution is only limited by the type of broacast signal. If you have a poor analog TV broadcast, the picture will suffer slightly. This is mostly visible on fast motion same color on color scenes. However this is only because of the high resolution capability and goes unnoticed on low resolution TVs. Overall this is a great TV for the price and I would buy again. However, I would consider plasma if going over 32 inchs as they can provide a picture closer to CRT in large format.

  Strengths: Excellent pictureExcellent contrast ratioSleek design

  Weaknesses: Only one HDMI portIf you do not have hdmi there is no digital audio port so you will be forced to use standard rca cables.Non HD picture is a little lacking

  Overall Evaluation: After agonizing over this lcd and the similarly priced sharp model I finally decided on the samsung because the depth of the picture made it stand out. The price on this lcd is also very competitive (lower) compared to sony, hitachi, etc. For any price point I think it would be hard to find a better picture.

  Duration of ownership:5 Weeks

  Strengths: Many inputs, stylish, good price compared to other brands, nice picture

  Weaknesses: Contrast not as good as I'd like it to be. I would also like to be able to disable the Air (cable) input, because when I cycle through inputs, this one comes up even though there's no connection

  Overall Evaluation: I've had this TV for about a month now. I am using a high definition DirecTV receiver with it. The picture is quite sharp, but you must stay at least 5 feet away - up close it tends to get blurry. I am also not completely satisfied with the brightness and contrast ratio - I am still adjusting it from time to time. I also turned off the Dynamic Contrast control, because when scenes changed from lighter to darker, or vice versa, there is a slight delay before the TV recoginzes the change, and you see a flicker as it adjust contrast - a bit annoying. I have to say that the picture from my panasonic EDTV plasma TV is better than from this display. But given that, and my space limitations, this is a good set, and I would recommend it - just make sure you adjust the picture for your viewing.

  Strengths: This TV has an excellent picture and sound.

  Weaknesses: None

  Overall Evaluation: This TV is probably the best LCD HDTV on the market today as far as picture quality is concerned. The sound quality I would rate a 4 out of 5. When I was looking at leading stores, every salesman reccommended this one along with some of the other major brands. I am very satisfied with the purchase price and quality of this TV.

  Strengths: Looks good, sharp picture

  Weaknesses: Does it really measure 32"? No PIP-doesn't have two tuners.

  Overall Evaluation: Overall, I do like the TV. The picture is sharp and very simple to use. The black borders of the TV makes it look a little unique and would match almost any decor. It is a great TV with a compact instruction book. I would recommend.
