Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-03-08 Summary: A Great HDTV ... After looking at the 32 inch LCD HDTV reviews at Amazon and other sellers, I decided to purchase this LG. It arrived quickly and safely via UPS. The picture is simply perfect on HD cable channels or the attached 1080i DVD/VCR, both connected via HDMI cables. In fact, the picture is superb on non-HD cable channels! Extensive comparison shopping showed that Amazon had the best price and super fast, free shipping! If this weren't installed in our bedroom, I could be a little disappointed with the TV's limited viewing ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-03-06 Summary: Excellent TV for the price ... I had been shopping for a new LCD TV and once this was the 'Deal of the DAy' in the Gold Box, I could not resist. The picture, sound and ease of the menus are fantastic. Highly recommended for the user that does not want to take a course on how to turn on the TV. Thanks Amazon. ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-03-04 Summary: Great for your second room ... After working at best buy in the hometheater dept you develop a dorkishly fond interest in electronics. If you have a keen eye for quality or have OCD you will be distracted by the motion jutter on this TV. For example, "A bugs life" when they're cascading over the grass, the grass instead of being clear is all blurred. Now REGARDLESS of what ever I just said if you can get this tv under four hundred bucks you are making a good purchase. You basically have to make a comprimise, price and it's purpose over quality. ...more
[4] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-03-04 Summary: LG1080 32" flat screen tv ... I have had this LG flat screen 32 inch 1080 HDTV for about a month and am finding it easy to use and with a great picture. Unfortunately my condominium does not yet have high def, but I also bought a Blu-Ray player and can attest to the fabulous high definition picture that the LG television gives to BluRay discs. ...more
[5] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-03-04 Summary: great tv for the price and my use ... i bought this tv for the bedroom. i think it is great. i know there are nicer tv's out there, but for a 32" tv, for a bedroom, i didn't have much reason to buy the nicest thing on the market. this tv is great, especially for the price. hd channels look great on it. the bedroom is a darker room and i mostly watch it at night, so i can't comment on the picture in a well lit space. sound quality seems fine for basic tv watching. a backlit remote would be great for watching in a dark room, but not a must. you get used ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-03-03 Summary: Great value and great delivery ... This is our first LCD TV and we have been very impressed. Great picture quality, sleek design, excellent for Blu-Ray. I only wish that the picture quality of our HDTV cable were crisp enough for this TV. ehat makes this especially worthwhile is the price of $1699, very good compared to other prices in January 2010. Delivery was faster than estimated and person helped set up the TV. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-03-03 Summary: Very very Satisfied ... I read lots of reviews before purchasing and after 2 months, I have not had any problems. I used the set up information on the internet and am happy with the results. I am using 240hz for sports and movies and still very good and clear picture for both. Keep in mind that you have to get an HD signal from your cable or satillite company. I am using the 1600 Bluray player that came with the TV and the blueray movies are "surperb". I have not started using the movie streaming or internet yet, as the 1600 does not have ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-03-02 Summary: Fantastic ... I upgraded from a 55" Mitsubishi CRT Rear Projection dinosaur. For the space we had, a 55" wouldn't work. Needed a 52". I was disappointed that we couldn't get an LED in 52" and didn't want to downsize to 46". Anyway, looked and looked and researched and researched. Finally decided between this and SONY Bravia XBR9. Compared them at Best Buy, decided on this one. Went back the next day to pick this one up - sold out overnight!!!!. I've ordered a lot of stuff from Amazon, but never something like this. I was irritated ...more
[4] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-02-28 Summary: Very nice HDTV ... Pros: * huge screen * very nice picture -- my subjective opinion here * works well with a Mac Mini as an HTPC * very wide viewing angle for an LCD TV -- I'd estimate 140 degrees Cons: * visual haloing (probably due to overzealous edge enhancement) ** noticeable as halos around black text that appears on a non-white background ** occurs even after disabling the Edge Enhancement option * slight input lag ** impact is that mouse movements aren't displayed immediately ** if you don't route your sound through the TV at ...more
[5] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-27 Summary: The Best Picture Anyone Could Want ... This Lcd tv has the best picture, I love it, it is hard too pull your self away from it. The HD is great, I have a blu-ray and directv HD. The 240Hz makes the the picture so clear.If you buy this tv you will love it. Amazon was great too, Everything came on time and was in perfect condition. I would recommend amazon to anyone! ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-03-04 Summary: Overall reasonable choice for good price with little to no issues ... Being a college kid and constantly striving to make sure that every dollar spent, is definately worth it, I did weeks of research before coming to the conclusion of purchasing this television. It may be one of the cheaper models that Samsung makes, but personally I believe it so far has proven to be a worth-while purchase. I have owned the TV for about a month now and don't regret it one single bit. Currently, I do not use it as a TV to watch TV, so I can offer no insight to what its compatibility is with standard, ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-03-03 Summary: Amazing!!! ... I've had this tv for 2 months now, and I have to say it is great. It's hooked up to the ps3 via an HDMI cable, to picture is amazing, also watching bluray movies on it is unbelievable. I don't regret buying it. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-24 Summary: Works well; the price was good too ... We needed this size TV to fit into a cabinet to replace our old TV. It works fine and the price was very good. Given that we got free shipping, we saved about $50 overall. I had the feeling that this size and model was going to be discontinued, since the larger sizes are not much more money. We had some trouble getting the TV set up, and when we called Samsung, their service reps were poorly trained and did not speak good English. Be prepared to read the manual and do the set-up yourself. The experience of buying the ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-21 Summary: Awesome TV ... This television is great quality. Sure, it's "only" 720p - but that's fine. For the size of screen I don't any complaints at all. It's got all the inputs I wanted, including a VGA port for my old laptop, and the panel is pretty spacious so even having a few cables plugged in, you can still reach the cables/ports easily. Not having a side panel might make it difficult to plug ne cables in if you have it in a TV cabinet, but the TV isn't heavy and the panel is offset so you won't have to reach far. It has a few in-built ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-03-07 Summary: Panasonic G15 ... Received the G15 instead of the G10. The only difference is the thickness, the G15 is slimmer. The picture on this TV is absolutely amazing, the best I have ever seen. My friend has a new Samsung LED LCD that cost him over $2,000 and the Panasonic, which cost me $800, has a better picture. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-03-03 Summary: Great Television for less than $1,000 ... I picked up this television a couple of weeks ago and have been very pleased with it. This is the first Plasma television I've owned and I love it! Researching this television I learned more about Plasma's, like the history of burn-in issues, that they don't work well in brightly lit environments, and that they are a lot more affordable now than in years past. Image burn-in issues are perhaps fully resolved with the newer Panasonic Plasma's. They even have a feature accessible in the menu where you can "sweep" the ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-03-01 Summary: Better deal elsewhere.... ... I bought this same TV at Sears for $720.00 and it was a 50". So for another $20.00 you can get a larger TV. I also seen this same TV at Wal-Mart just recently & for the 50" it was $699.00. So far I've been pleased with my purchase. This TV was easy to set/hook up and the picture quality is real good! Just wanted to say this is really not "The Best" deal out there for this model TV. ...more

[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-03-01 Summary: Better than Sony and costs less ... I had read that LG was making one of the best TVs recently, but wasn't very sure about that. Now i see it is true! It is much better than the Sony or Panasonic of 720p. It is a very good buy for the price. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-26 Summary: Could not be happier! ... I have now bought Two of these HD LG Televisions, and the second was not to replace the first one i bought. Need i say more? This TV is simply amazing. Sound is awesome, picture quality is sharp and crisp and the gloss black finish it has, is so sexy. I'm a hardcore gamer and have out-grown my 19'' PC monitor so i decided to upgrade. I'm so glad i went with LG. I have both my PlayStation 3 and xbox 360 connected and this TV did not disappoint. HD movies looks sharp and crisp and with a great response time, there is ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-23 Summary: Fantastic TV ... Amazing television. We upgraded from an older Sony Wega 32 inch to this. The picture is amazing looking, set up was easy, it runs perfectly with our PS3 and 360 on component cables. Very pleased with this purchase. ...more
[5] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-06 Summary: Good Sound Quality ... I feel I should comment on the sound quality of this TV, because it's good. What little bit of research I did before buying an LG led me to believe that sound quality isn't really a selling point on many LCD's yet. You don't want it to suck, but you're probably not going hear anything worth writing home about. If that's true, then the sound on this thing is great. I had a pair of external speakers I planned on using, and the TV speakers sounded way better. My only note is that dialogue sounds a little quiet in comparison ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-03-01 Summary: Great TV at a Great Price!! ... I am very happy with this VIZIO HDTV. I have never owned a VIZIO before and I am definitely sold on the brand!! I was very fortunate to time the purchase right when Amazon had the TV for $209, now it's $228. It would still be a good value at $250 though. Free standard shipping only took 3 days. Opened the box, hooked up my cable, plugged it in and about 10 minutes later it had detected all my channels, including HD channels. The picture is fantastic for my HD channels and very good for the non-HD. I don't see any negatives ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-16 Summary: I love it... ... My wife brought me to Walmart, walked me over to the electronics section, and to my surprise we stopped in front of the 22 inch tvs and she said go ahead, pick one. I chose this 22 inch Vizio. It was either this or an RCA. I have an RCA tube tv and have always been impressed with the life span of that tv, considering I've had it since 2001 and it still works jsut like the day I bought it. I liked the picture quality in store on the Vizio over the RCA and liked the fact that it has 2 HDMI ports over the RCAs 1. I took ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-02-19 Summary: I am Extremely pleased with this t.v.....so far ... I just received this tv today so I have not had a chance to see or use all of the functions. So as far as a plug and play review, I have nothing bad to say about this set, and I think I am a harsh critic, personally. I did my research before buying and found this 32" set to be the clear winner. Amazon had the best price by far and shipment was faster than expected. THis is my 3rd HD set and this one is superior to the others, especially the sound quality, in my opinion, which is something I was concerned about. Swivel ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-18 Summary: A Great TV Backed by Fantastic Customer Service at Amazon! ... I researched this TV and in the 32 inch category it came away the clear winner! The Picture quality is awesome, the number of inputs and outputs exceed what most people need however they will be there in the future should you need them. There is even a USB port on this TV. The contrast ratio is far greater than Sony or any other brand I have come across. I expected to pay in excess of $700 for what Amazon is offering for $559 + free shipping! If you have been looking and have not yet made a decision to purchase........Order ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-02-05 Summary: No headphone jack! ... As title. I can't quite believe Samsung wouldn't include a headphone jack. It boggles my mind. How much did it save them? A few bucks? Completely stupid. If you want to use this TV with headphones you have two choices - plug the audio out into an amp, then the headphones into the amp. Or get a left-right RCA to mini-jack cable and plug directly into your headphones. However, if the headphones (like my Sennheisers) have separate left/right mini-jacks instead of one stereo you're boned again. Yes, there may be another ...more
[4] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-01-08 Summary: Great TV ... I have purchased 2 low end HDTVs recently and what I notice most are lack of functions or ease of functions and the low speed of channel selection. Almost any low end HDTV will give a great picture and while I would not categorize this Samsung in that low end category, the picture is great and the channel selection is fast. This TV does a good job of providing ease of use for channel deletion, favorites etc. However it does not allow one to change the name or number of cable DTV channels. So when you are used to watching ...more
[5] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-01-01 Summary: Good picture quality but average sound ... This TV is now old and superseded by other better 120Hz TV's. Personally, I checked out the 120Hz v/s 60Hz TV's at Best Buy and I couldn't tell any difference. I think this is all a gimmick to keep making people pay for new stuff. First there was DVD quality, then ED quality which was kinda HD, then 720p, then 1080i and now BluRay and finally Full HD 1080p. Since this topic of HD is now exhausted, the newest manufacturer trick is to double the refresh rate from 60Hz to 120Hz to 240Hz etc. I have a 5-year old 1080i ...more
