Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Samsung LN32A450 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV
Customer Review: Wonderful TV, Great Value, BUT getting it was a pain...
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful TV. I've had the TV for about 3 months so I think my opinion of it has stabilized at this point. Over all I am very happy with it. I have found a few things to be annoying.
Bottom line first: great TV that I'm very happy with. Had a bit of trouble with Amazon getting the TV here, had a bit of trouble getting the TV setup and found Samsung unhelpful in the process. Since getting everything up and running I've been extremely happy with the TV save a minor annoyance with the way it powers up.
Pros (+):
+The picture quality with an HD signal is amazing. I live in an area with great over the air HD and the picture quality is just spectacular. It also looks wonderful over my digital cable. On a 32" screen I think you'll have a darn hard time splitting 1080 from 720. I'm lucky enough to have a friend who is a video professional who was able to prove this to me in an 18% gray windowless room with a blueray signal.
+Looks amazing and works very well with my Philips DVP5982 1080p Upscaling DVD Player
+It's a great value. While you'll find many cheaper 32" TVs the quality and feature set on this TV make it a wonderful value for your money.
+The remote is excellent. The buttons are easy to sort out without looking. It feels nice and well built. I like the "TV" source quick select button.
+The unit has an attractive case. The simple, under adorned enclosure blinds into the background nicely.
+The HDMI port on the side of the unit is very helpful. Having a port free to plug transient devices into is really helpful on a smaller unit like this.
+The on screen menu system is really excellent.
Cons (-):
(-) The TV is noticeably slow to turn on and dose in an odd fashion. You hit the power button and nothing happens for a second. Then the little red light on the case turns off. About a second or two later the TV makes an annoyingly loud chime and the red light comes back on. A second later the picture is up. Waiting 3-4 seconds for a picture and having the loud chime at power up is annoying.
(-) The TV was shipped with a `defective' base. When I went to assemble the TV I found that it would not sit correctly on the base stand. After calling Samsung tech support I was told that they would send a repair person out two days later to have a look. Of course that was going to mean sitting at home during a 4 hour window waiting to have the TV fixed. After a little investigation I figured out that the locking screw on the pedestal had been over tightened at the factor. I was able to fix the problem in 5 minutes and cancel the service call. This can't be the first time this mistake has been made and the fix was amazingly easy. Tech support could have been more helpful or the TV could have been shipped in working order.
(-) Amazon "White Glove" deliver is anything but. I'm a huge Amazon fan and this is the only problem I've ever had with them. White glove delivery was through some random freight company that did not deliver on the advertised promise. The freight company did not call me to schedule my delivery. Instead I had to hunt them down and use their tracking tool to follow my TVs progress. When it got close to me I started calling. Finally I was able to arrange a delivery (during a 4 hour window). The delivery man arrived, rang the bell, put the box by my front door and asked me to sign. This signature is saying that the TV arrived in good working order. Of course you could only say such a thing if the white glove delivery involved the setup that Amazon promised. I made the deliver person wait while I unboxed the TV to confirm it was at least physically intact before signing. Needless to say I was left to do my own trash disposal and setup. I wasn't unhappy about doing so, just unhappy that Amazon didn't deliver on their promises.
