Samsung LN32C450 Outstanding picture.

We purchased this TV about two months ago for a second TV room. It is connected to a HD cablebox via component cables. The picture is outstanding, even without an HDMI cable. The sound is very good. I especially like the voice-priority (not actual name, but what I call it) setting where the voice is very clear and audible and does not get lost in all the background noise. For the price, this was a great buy and we are very pleased with the picture clarity on both the HD and digital-only stations. Since we’ve only had it for a couple of months, I cannot make a statement about reliability.

Samsung LN32C450 is top tier for a reason.

I think this is a great TV. I was torn between C350, C530 and this. I ultimately went for this because it was the sweetspot for me between price/performance.

Pros – The picture is excellent, my friends have Vizios from 2008 ranging between 26″ up to 46″ and in comparison, they look dim and unsaturated compared to this model from Samsung. 720p/1080i or downcoverted 1080p looks excellent, the picture quality at 1366×768 looks sharper, brighter and more colorful than other budget 32 inch 1080p models I seen. You can only notice stairstepping/pixels if you sit less than 2 feet away. Which with a TV this size would be way too close. I sit 6 feet away and edges are smooth (I have 20/20 vision.) OTA HD with bunny ears/loop antenna looks flawless. Upconverted 480p content looks great for it’s format. The amount of options to play with are great. But, even so, this TV looked excellent on it’s factory default settings. This TV also has multiple sound settings such as Movie and Clear voice modes. By the way, the speakers are hidden and loud, I have it set to 5-6 volume (out of 50) when using the PS3, 8-10 when watching TV, with very good sound quality for it’s wattage.

Samsung LN32C450 Excellent TV, Superb Service

I did a lot of research before buying my Samsung LN32C450 32-Inch LCD HDTV. Samsung is clearly top-ranked in the LCD TV market. My new TV met my high expectations, and so did the seller’s service … delivery time was excellent and exactly as promised. Hook-ups to cable, satellite receiver, and DVD player were easy. Picture and sound are outstanding. Overall, A+++ for both product and service.

Samsung LN32C450 Great purchase,Update.

I bought this as a gift for my mom but I now watch it also. I only run standard cable to it but the picture is still rich and clear. My mom doesn’t see the benefit of a HD signal but I think she’ll come around when I partner it with an HDTV cable box. As good as the picture is what I was even more impressed with was the clarity of the audio. It really makes it enjoyable to watch a movie or show. Kudos to Samsung for including such good sound with their TV’s. I had to return a Hitachi 47″ LCD because the sound was so weak and tinny. 25% Volume is quite sufficent with this model. If someone has optimal picture settings for this model, please reply. Settings for my Panasonic 50″G10 transformed it.
Update-4/28/2010. I played music from a flash drive and it was great. Great speakers once again. Next up-Avatar
