Samsung LNS3296D 32-Inch LCD HDTV Customer Review

I have owned this TV for almost three months now and I am still wowed by its fantastic image. I am quite picky about my electronics and this is the third HDTV I've had in my home. I've returned both a Samsung 50" DLP and a competitor's 42" LCD. Honestly, before I bought this model, I was scared I'd never find a TV that lived up to my quality standards. I took a gamble on this Samsung when I saw its price had dropped. Am I happy I made that purchase now!

I'm an avid gamer, so response time and lag-free scan conversion were high on my list of wants. Quite simply, Gears of War looks unbelievable at 720p. I was hesitant of upgrading to HD because of concerns over losing the ability to play older games. You will want to make sure your consoles can output over component video (even 480i is fine, of course) or that you have some means of up-converting older inputs (my Sony stereo does a pretty poor job of this). But since the PS2 can render PS1 games (Final Fantasy IX never looked so good) and the Wii supports progressive scan GameCube games (mmm, Super Smash Bros. Melee at 480p) this has ceased to be a problem.

I won't say that standard definition video looks good. I've heard that this TV is rated the highest among 32" TVs for SD video, but who buys an HDTV for SD television channels? I will say that 24 looks better in 1080i than my DVDs look at 480p. Watch the opening to House and you will become a believer. I also can't speak to this TV's 10W speakers. If you have the funds for this LCD TV, you already have a nice receiver and surround sound (or top-end two-channel speakers). I haven't had audio running to my TV in years. This Samsung does have a nice option for a hardware mute, so my TV speakers have never even been used. But I don't know, maybe this is a bedroom TV for you; it's not like any of its competitors have seriously better offerings for audio either.

So, yes, this 32" LCD has a price that competes with some 40" LCDs. But for good reason; this is the best of the best when it comes to 32" TVs. And any 40" below 00 isn't worth your money. I'm a hard sell and I have fallen in love with this TV and would recommend it without hesitation. Great job, Samsung.
